Whats wrong with just sugar? A common thing for 9er sailors to do is to cover wings etc in a thin layer of epoxy and stand down wind and chuck brown sugar in the air once the epoxy or whatever had set just wash it with warm water "sugar disolves" just leaving a nice grippy surface

OH RIGHT! I take back what I said about 60s wallpaper... More than 80s spacesuit
Just kidding, Chris, it's very nice. And I can see it's a strong deterrent if anyone wants to kneel down!. |

sorry somehow missed that post. You can do it with epoxy or paint I think, same way of doing it. It is grippy enough, cheap, and if its a boat like a 9er keeps your crew off the deck Epoxy is definitely the better way, but paint the cheaper Edited by Chris Bridges |
