Nonskid Panels

I'm not a fan of nonskid paint on the deck, so I contracted with Oscar, who has a shop in Tortugal Marina, to fabricate and install nonskid panels. He built them there then brought them to the astillero to install them. Oscar's method was to rough-cut the panels to size, then lay them on deck and mark the exact size, cut them to fit, then after careful preparation, glue them to the deck with resin using wooden strips as clamps which were screwed into the deck at the ends (the Guatemalan version of vacuum bagging). This was done before gelcoating the topsides.
