Several days later, I masked out the non-skid areas, and rolled them on. I had bought an additional 500ml of paint in a light grey, and mixed International Deck Non Skid into it, according to the instructions. This has, at time of writing, provided a good hard-wearing non-skid surface. I don't always use a dan bouy on this boat, because it has such a good anchor well. Something I love about the Haines though (especially when retreiving an anchor outside) is the generous walk-around deck, and the non-skid finish has been very good to walk on, showing no signs of wear after 18 months.
