Seadek. Specfically, on cockpit seats, perhaps under cusions

I like cushions just fine, but sometimes in foul weather I'd just as soon not get them wet and then have to dry them. Or perhaps it's a short sail and pulling them out is not worth the trouble. In the cool/cold season, bare fiberglass seat suck the heat right through your clothes. Not sliding around would also be nice. So what about applying something like Seadeck (self-adhesive 6mm EVA foam anti-skid) on the seats, and then puting the cushions over that when desired?


My deck and cockpit non-skid is sufficient.


I've also been thinking about the cockpit coaming, where I sometimes sit. I have some pads on that, this might be more versatile.

I understand the life expectancy is only about 5-7 years. I would think it would be at the high end of that on a seat as compared to the deck.

My dock neighbor's Hunter 38 came with a setup like you're describing. I'm not sure what form of foam type fake teak they used, but it's something like Seadek on the cockpit floor and seats. He usually puts cushions over it, but it's comfy enough without them in my opinion. And after ~15 years since the boat was built, the stuff is still in good shape (although it's not overly heavily used).
