Hi Peter,

my first Mossie had that Mesh on the decks no idea what it was, maybe Fibreglass Fly wire Mesh <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. Personaly I have found either sprinkling house hold Salt, through a seive on to uncured paint (cheap), or K&H Non Skid Latex paint commonly used on pooldecks etc. to be very good grip. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Both of these do need occasional re coating though, as they are soft and wear away. But don't wear your gear or rear out <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
