Onshore-Offshore Product Review

Here is a SeaDek product review in the new issue of Onshore-Offshore Magazine.

Turning your templates into pads

Once you purchase and return one of our template kits we digitize it in-house. After a CAD file is created it goes out to our factory floor where it is laminated, cut, beveled and shipped back out to you for installation. It is a quick and easy process and the $15.00 you spend on the template kit is deducted from the cost of your order!

We also provide a short video to walk you through the process of creating a template. How to create a simple template.

SeaDek upgrades to your JY15

After a few hours of hiking out on the JY15, as with any sailboat, you can develop minor bruises or discomfort where the pelvic bones meet the hull. To eliminate the painful posterior SeaDek non-skid "padded" sheets were installed on the JY15 as described in the steps below .

Supplies:
-Purchase on the internet two SeaDek 18" by 74" 5mm thick sheets, in the color you want, to cover both tank hiking areas.
-Masking tape
-Pencil
-Box cutter or scissor
-Various clamps

Step 1
Position the Seadek nonskid sheet for tracing.
Position the nonskid sheet over the side with masking tape. The top of the pad was positioned within an inch of the jib cleat.


Step 2
Mark your cutting lines on the nonskid sheet.
Trace a line on the bottom side of the nonskid sheet following the curve of the beam. To get your cockpit side marking on the sheet measure at least a 13" width at the highest point and gradually reducing the width down to a minimum of 10" at the stern using the arc of the previous outside edge tracing as the reference point.
After marking you lines on the sheet verify your lines follow the curve of the boat and go deep enough into the cockpit. The minimum width measurements provided above insure that whether a person is sitting on the inside edge or outside edge of the tank for various hiking positions they will be sitting on the nonskid padded surface. These measurements are based on a "field trial". (The nonskid surfaces had to be redone after first attempt since they were not made to these minimum requirements. )
Also the full 74" length of the nonskid surface was used for a couple reasons. Not only does it provide a longer comfortable hiking area, but also acts as a Tiller Guard and protects the sailboat surface from uncontrolled tiller swing to either side of the boat.


Step 3
Setting up a cutting guide - optional.
A cutting guide was created using a quarter round molding clamped to follow the outside line I traced in the previous step. This is not necessary if you are good at following lines with a box cutter or scissor. I successfully did the other side without the guide.


Step 4
Cut the nonskid sheets.
Cut the material at a slight angle so the edge is beveled out at the bottom of the sheet.


Step 5
Use one sheet as the template for the opposite side.
Take the first cutout and use it to trace the template for the other side. Be sure you place the sheets back to back, or as the picture shows sticky sides together to get the correct cut for the opposite side.


Step 6
Apply the nonskid surfaces.
Apply the nonskid cutouts to the tanks per SeaDek recommendations: clean the surface with something like Windex, peel back paper cover partially at starting point, and apply pressure across the surface as you peel back so air bubbles to do not get trapped. Take your time, check the positioning, and adjust as you roll out the sheet. The material is flexible enough that you can make slight changes as your roll it out to insure proper placement.
Final Product
JY15 with a complete complement of nonskid surfaces.
The picture below shows the JY15 with a complete upgrade and additions of the nonskid SeaDek material: hiking area, boom protection at bow and stern, tiller protection, cockpit, and centerboard hump.


JY15 Cockpit Boom Protection
You will notice that there are protective strips of nonskid padding in front of the transom and behind the mast hole where the boom lays on the boat as the mainsail halyard is lowered. You can use your left over scraps for these areas.


JY15 Pad the Centerboard Hump
Double layering nonskid(10 mm) padding on the centerboard hump makes a more comfortable sitting position for the crew.


JY15 Cockpit Upgrade
The original cockpit nonskid surfaces were also replaced with the SeaDek material. It does a great job without the sandpaper burns on the knees experienced with the original nonskid surface. You may want to double layer these cockpit nonskid pads for better protection to the knees.


JY15 Tiller Guard
The width of the nonskid hiking surface at the tiller point must be wide enough, at least 10", to wrap down into the cockpit in order to protect the surface.


Bottom line - the JY15 is painless in the cockpit with the SeaDek nonskid padding.

SeaDek, Perfect for Sailboats!

Just got these photos in form our South African distributor, Mike Rogers with Marine Traction Specialists. As SeaDek has grown in the past several years our focus has quickly broadened from fishing to wake and ski to cruisers and on into the sailing market. SeaDek's comfort, durability and customizability ar a perfect fit for sailors the world wide.

SeaDek Selected for the new Ski Nautique 200

For Immediate Release
August 26, 2009
Rockledge, FL...SeaDek® Marine Products is proud to announce that their unique non-skid products will be featured on the all-new Ski Nautique® 200 open and closed bow ski boats. The revolutionary ski boat by Correct Craft, will have SeaDek covering a wide variety of surfaces on the boats, providing unparalleled comfort and safe non-skid traction. This innovative product is made of a durable foam material and will offer unbeatable comfort as well as the high-end aesthetic look and feel synonymous with Ski Nautique.



The all-new Ski Nautique 200 represents, without question, a revolution in hull design. It has a wider running surface than its predecessor, creating greater lift and the ultimate "skier's wake" that will be appreciated by skiers at all speeds and rope lengths. The unique hull design provides a softer wake with a smoother exit, allowing slalom skiers to effectively maintain ski edge, control and direction. The exclusive Hydro-Gate softens the peaks of the rooster tails and wakes. The spray is greatly reduced and controlled. For trick skiers, the 200 creates a clean, smooth table and a defined, single peak wake that lets the skier easily feel the top. Driving, observing or skiing behind it, you'll discover the next revolution in ski boats - and the Nautique difference - on your very first pass. Learn more at www.nautiques.com.



SeaDek is redefining non-skid for the marine industry by replacing molded in non-skid and carpet with standard and customizable foam products that can be applied with their simple peel-and-stick backing. It will cover the new Ski Nautique 200's swim platform, transom step, glove box, and many other areas of the boat with either the faux teak brown over black (shown) or light gray over storm gray color combinations. Available in a wide variety of standard colors and sizes or customized with colors, logos, sizes, and shapes, SeaDek is perfect for nearly any boat application. Soft, yet durable, SeaDek protects boaters when entering and exiting the water, while providing protection for boat surfaces, especially in high traffic areas. Made from closed-cell EVA foam that will not absorb water, it is easy to clean and highly stain resistant.

SeaDek is quickly becoming the recognized leader in non-skid for the marine industry. Correct Craft joins the ranks of other top boat manufacturers such as Malibu, Bombardier, Centurion, Ranger, etc., to offer SeaDek as a standard or premium product option on their new boat models. Providing manufacturing flexibility and customization options for boat builders to boat owners alike - SeaDek is the comfort you need, traction you trust.

Customer install - Chaparral 220 SSI

"Dear Chuck,

I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner but we received the swim deck pad and needless to say IT IS AWESOME! We knew we needed a pad for the platform but never imagined that an aftermarket pad would look so darn good. Please pass on our praise to all of your employees. It was also extremely easy to apply. I now find myself looking for boats with pad-less swim platforms just so I can tell the owners about SeaDek. I have attached pictures of before/templating and the finished product. Thank you very much for making our boat look so good.

Gratefully,
Sean"

LAKE AND BAY - TEAM HOOTERS

This was a SeaDek custom install by Tyler Shealy over at Castaway Customs. Tyler joined us over at the MAATS/iCast show the other week. These two boats are captained by Chris Wittman & Tom Winrow of Team Hooters.

Both of the boats are Lake & Bays. One is a 20' Boca Grande and the other is a 17' Predator. Both boats were done in a two tone gray with custom logos and bevels. A nice custom addition are the two fish rulers on either side of the logoed boat.

Note from customer:

"Chuck-
I've attached a couple of pictures as we discussed, so feel free to use these on your blog if you'd like. The pad worked out great during our vacation! It's rare these days to find a company that truly backs their products - and I really appreciate your working with me on the issue I had.

Thanks again!
Gregg"

Custom Centurion Swimplatform Pads

These pads were custom ordered for Transition Watersports: http://transitionwatersports.net\


We usually don't recommend black as a top color but this customer insisted. Black absorbs more heat and we had concerns about loosing some of the embossing pattern. We are looking into doing black pads with a sanded finish instead of the embossed pattern as a work around.

Great Showing At MAATS 2009 In Orlando

Just wanted to say thak you to everyone who stopped into the booth last week at MAATS to say hello. We were able to put a lot of faces to names and meet a lot of great new people. By all accounts the marine industry is on its way back to life. We spoke to distributors, dealers, manufactures as well as a ton of customers and even though it was a long cold winter for all things seem to be cranking back up again, finally. Look for us at IBEX in October at booth# 2635.

Microskiff Project Boat

The following is from microskiff.com:A few weeks ago Capt. Ron at http://theskiffshop.com and Tyler at http://castawaycustoms.com collaborated on outfitting my boat with Cool Gray Seadek. Tyler came over to the west coast and digitized all the areas on my boat & took the data back and custom routed all the pieces. It turned out to be quite the jigsaw puzzle. A few days later Capt. Ron received the kit and did the install in a couple of hours.

The whole process was above and beyond my expectations.

Thanks Capt. Ron & Tyler!!!
