[Rhodes22-list] Options for non-skid cockpit sole?

[Michael D. Weisner]

Greg,

The dinghy looks great - like new!  Great job!!

We leave our dinghy down at the riverside, locked to an anchor stake on NY 
State property.  This is where all of the moored boat dinghies are kept - no 
oars or they will disappear.  I like my old dinghy look - the poorer, the 
better.  Our problem is that the surfcasting fishermen and kids sit on or 
party in the nicer boats.  I rough patch any cracks and would never sand or 
paint the boat for fear that it would become too valuable to someone else. 
I just want it to stay dry and get me out to my R22 safely.  Anything more 
than that would be a waste of time and money for us.  I wish people were 
more considerate of other people's property so that I could make mine look 
as pretty.
