just take a knife and open it up a little, foam is just on the top side.

star brite hull cleaner. never failed me yet. walmart 8 bucks

just curious how many folks out there have phantoms? i am looking for rigging tips. i recently got a 84 model and it is awsome. real stable and fast. i can stand up in it and walk around and sail it. thanks

daggerboard slots seems about perfect!

i agree marine tex is awsome stuff!

i got mine at west marine. i think is was sea sense brand. but forget about that stuff. check out Sea Deck website. you can buy a non skidd pad that is self adhesive. man now that would be sweet. not to pricey. check it out!

gob in some marine tex and go sailing.

good idea i will try it

i took care of it today with 15 dollar roll of non skid tape. i think it will work i also took off the wax around the cockpit. i guess i need to get some sailing shorts did not realize that they were grippies. man that is funny about velcro but not a bad idea.

industrial velcro strips or maybe 3m 4200, i want to be able to take off and not harm the gel coat. 4200 should be ok not 5200.

i can't stay on my boat, slicked it up so much that i am sliding all over. i am thinking about mounting some closed cell foam pads around the cockpit for comfort and a little more fanny grip. looking at a sleeping bag ground pad and cutting it to fit, velcro it down or silicone it in place...

i built a neat cradle for my boat using large pool noodle attached to cross beam. nice and cushy. i guess i have about 10 bucks in it. used plastic zip ties to secure it.

why would you want the daggerboard in the up and note fully seated in slot?

i want to experiment with a longer board and put a small hook on the end.

man...... way over my head, i just wanted to go to the shop and cut out a board.
