Greetings,
That's a lot of stubbies. Looks good. What non-skid will you use?

Lol thanks mate. I am making my own non-skid. I’m painting Wattyl’s Poly U400 2 Part Polyurethane and International’s Intergrip aggregate.



I’ve decided to tie in the roof brow to the topsides by using the same colour. I’m getting the Poly U mixed to Koala Grey and will get the paint shop to satin/flat it out. Hopefully it will look the goods.

The rooftop will be done with kiwigrip in light grey.

Fitted off the very first piece of stainless steel thanks to Rex and Joy Francis at Anchor Right Australia. I had a couple of things I could have done first but wanted to save that for the Anchor Right gear. They gave me this roller and a SARCA Excel anchor about 3 years or so ago. I rolled up some butyl tape and put it around the hole on the roller to keep water away from the holes in the bowsprit. I need to tighten over three days to make sure everything is squeezed out and water tight. After I did the roller I bolted down the bowrail to the bowsprit then began marking out, drilling and taping the bowrail feet on the topsides ready for when I do the nonskid.

Great tape off. Everything is going to come out evenly and look just excellent.

Started with the nonskid this afternoon and I’m stoked with it. Never done it before so watched a few YouTube vids, asked a few questions and had a crack. There were a few ways to do it but I decided to roll a coat of Poly U400 on the area with a foam roller, wait for 10 mins for it to tack off then sprinkled on the aggregate then roll on a second coat. Tomorrow I’ll roll on a third coat just to seal it all off and make the colour uniform but yeah pretty happy with it. I’m really glad I decided to use the same colour as the roof brow. It will tie the two together perfectly.

One nice thing about the non-skid, it will keep the callus off your feet.

Yeah I know. I thought about a light coloured deck but I chose looks over practicality for this. I’ve heard Light decks are cooler but figured they’d be grubbier too. I’ll have a deck wash up front so if it’s too hot I can give it a squirt I guess. The top of the fwd cabin will be done the same way however it will also have 2 x 80mm cushions covering the whole top acting as a day bed and 3 x 50mm cushion inserts to cover the hatches to make the whole area a bed.
