Hey all,
In our quest to pitchpole less, I took some leftover urethane rug rail and put it on the aft hull. That way we can trapeze a bit further back. I tried it last time out, on my first time on the trapeze, and the hull was slick.

I use the Hydro-Turf anti-skid. Works pretty good. The honest truth is, at 68 years of age, i no longer go out on the trap. Wish I could, but just can't push off anymore.

I had bought a sheet of hydro turf also. I bought a SUP/surfboard sheet with 3M adhesive. Enough for two boats worth of rails plus the aft hull as shown in the picture.
