We are finishing our Chester Yawl that we built at CLC this past November.
Interior will be finished “bright” and the hull will be painted “off-white” with the top strake painted “red”. Has anyone used EVA Foam Decking on either the floorboards and front/rear decks to make these surfaces less succeptible to slipping on?
Will appreciate your comments!

I have used the EVA foam decking (I like Aquatraction) on a number of boats small and large and am about to apply it on the sole of my almost finished PT 11 nesting dinghy. It gives good traction and is very nice on the knees etc when climbing around the boat. You see it more and more on center cockpit fishing boat and high end racing sailboats for those exact reasons - plus a dropped winch handle or anything hard and heavy is much less dramatic on the foam-great stuff and there are lots of colors and panel variations to make it attractive too!
