Hull pads?

Post by Laz »

A while back, I recall someone who installed foam pads on the top of their hulls near the trampoline, just for comfort. I can't find that thread anymore.

Anyone recall this, or am I getting Anheiser's?

Thanks.

I put some stuff called Hydroturf, Hydroturf.com, on the tops of a SC20 a while back. It was quote comfortable and seemed pretty durable. Many of the newer F18's and F16's are coming with the stuff standard now. If you ever had to remove the stuff for repairs it probably wouldn't be any fun! Look through this thread and you can see how I installed it viewtopic.php?f=3&t=600&start=15

Please don't make a mess of the deck of your boats. Wear bicycle riding pants under your normal sailing clothes and you will have a soft seat whereever you sit down.
There are aalso some well padded sailing shorts available with a leather covered seat for good traction.
