[C320-list] non skid

[Adam Weiner]

May I respectfully suggest (and I certainly have some experience in
weather on the boat) that perhaps the problem is not with your non-skid
but with your shoes.

One of the biggest problem with non-skid deck shoes is that people wear
them off the boat and the street grime and grit clog the treads.  The
solution is to have a pair of shoes on board that you only wear on
board.  The only place mine are worn is on the boat and I must confess
on the dock when I step off to tie up.  However, after that it's back to
street shoes.

  This last weekend (Marine Del Rey) we had some funny winds first
blowing about 5 knots than a few minutes later gusting over 20 knot.
This went back in forth most of the day till the winds finally died.
Anyway, when it was blowing I was sliding all over the cockpit floor
even with my good deck shoes. I was wondering what everyone was using
out there to upgrade there non-skid? There's Griptex or Interlux non
skids, I have even seen rubber mats 12"x12" that interlock together.
Thanks, John & Bobbi Holokai 2
