Good stuff here. I am nothing if not a practical sailor. Awlgrip, as good as it is, is out of the question. That would be the definition of impractical on my little salvage project. Kind of like a gold leaf pinstripe on my Pacer.
There is something kind of gratifying in the thought of the sound of little metal balls rattling around and piles of cans on the ground. I wonder what the good folks on the Hinkley forum would have to say about all this. Good heavens!

Considered shine, ease of application, durability, UV resistance over a couple of years. Two part paints like Algrip were rated best, but the Rustoleum Marine paints matched the performance of the best one part marine finished like Brightside, and only cost 1/4 as much. It was by far the best buy recommendation in the test. I sprayed my Tanzer 16 sailing dinghy with Rustoleum marine enamel bought at Lowes. Primer inside and out, two different colors for hull and inside, and the non-skid addative for inside the hull (Rustoleum supplies that too) cost about $40 total. And I am totally happy with the result and the durability.

I am going to try it on a cockpit hatch and see how it goes. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I
