I can understand that with a polyurethane an anti-skid would be needed.  I
used a tung oil product from Waterlox (www.waterlox.com) on our cabin sole
and it has not only held up very well, but is relatively slip-free when
damp.  I've been thinking about doing the ladder and will probably use
Waterlox on that too.  

I've also heard good things about Ultimate Sole for interior spaces; but,
haven't heard much lately.  Also, can't recall seeing them at the last
Annapolis Boat Show.

I added Quikrete Anti-Skid floor texture additive to my clear polyurethane.
The additive turns clear when you mix it into the poly.  Stopped slippage on
the companion-way stairs instantly, you feel it but don't see it.  Put it on
4 
seasons back and it still holding up well.   I got the additive a Lowes for 
about $5.

Does anyone know what product to use on the companion way stairs?  They are
in good shape and only need a rough sand and then a finishing of some kind.
I have a can of the Catalina interior stain.  That works very well for
everything inside the boat.  I am not sure if its rugged enough for the
stairs.
