I have begun the gripping of the contender today, note the hair dryer to activate the adhesive and also to help get it to curve round those tight corners.

I was told you should hose that much progrip down before getting it weighed at an event as it soaks up so much water you can skip some lead!

Is that right? As far as I'm aware, boat weigh-ins should be done with the boat in a dry state.
In any case, if progrip takes up any significant amount of water, it's not like you would be able to exploit it when you are actually sailing the boat when it will get wet. Confused

I understand Containers can be wet weighed at least you can 'clean' it first! No point dragging more weight round than you need to.

This is a closed cell EVA foam, not strictly pro grip, but £10 a sheet rather than £30
It doesent "soak up water" as many seem to think, it will absorb a small ammount through use but not more than a few grams over that area.
Ill setup a new thread with a few more photos.

Dan, can I ask where you got the sheets from please? I had a look on Algeos website but couldn't seem to find anything other than insoles for orthapaedic shoes, and I'd need a few of those to do my cockpit floor!

Jamie.
 
If it's for your 300 consider using surf wax. My 300 cockpit was coated with it when I first got it and I've continued to use it. Very good and much easier than progrip etc. Can look a bit grey and grubby though.

Progrip is better at hiding things though ;-)
