  1. That's the same principle as grit tape. It has grit moulded into the plastic. We use it in the kitchen of our shop. I think they come in 1.5mm and 3mm really good stuff, non slip as long as you don't wear trainers on them when wet, otherwise it can be quite slippery too. Only one major complain from the chefs, they go thru shoes in treble quick time, as it wears the sole down really quick. They are fairly reasonable too, no more than the cost of a good quality carpet. PS. you have to glue it down.
  2. Support your local rip-off merch........
  3. Keep it clean lads.....
  4. Just to be awkward, what is treadmaster? I fyou only want something that doesn't slip and cheap, have you consider 'grit tape'? They are the grippy black/grey stripe they put on steps to stop people from slipping. They wear quite well too if stuck on clean surface. The come in 50mm x18m roll (about

  7. looks deep. Have you any idea what cause the crack in the first place? It doesn't look like a stress or load area, so why did it crack?
  8. I don't think he has anything that size, you best bet is Barry wotsit name on ebay, but 14mm isn't cheap about

  11. Can't see very clearly from the picture how bad/deep is it? Use either a knife or a needle from the missus' craftbox to see how deep is it. If it's only a couple of mm, scrap clean with a sharp knife, them fill it with fibre glass and then paint over it with any odd paint. I've had a crack about 12" long on the transome right by the outboard. My mate cleaned it out and filled it up.
  12. I've not been to Kimmeridge before, so Chichester wotsit own the gate and land leading to the slip, do they also own the slipway? Cos if they don't and access has been given to the slip in the past donkey's year, they have to, by law continue to provide access.

    Isn't it strange they get very little tide down under. Down at South Australia they have what it's called a dodge tide where there's little movement of water.
  14. I've found anchors and rope at boat jumble to be just as overprize (sometime more so) as chandlery shops. Tak a 5 kg bruce, it's at least
  15. An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight. The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?" The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"
  16. Heard about the Welsh bloke who cut off his testicles after he jokingly said 'If We beat England, I'll cut off my balls...' I hope Rach has a clean pair of scissors.
  17. It all depends on how much you want to spend on a boat. If you don't mind the hard work, you can pick up a sound boat for a couple of hundred now. A few weeks (or months depending how much time you can spend on it) of hard work, new paint and a few updates and a new boat you have.
  18. Come on Jack, you willhave to lose another one to claim that prize, as Moi also lost 2 anchors in 2 trips......
