How to Install Boat Deck Non-skid | Soft Sand | Boat Building and Boat Restoration

Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs.

This episode I discuss how I installed new boat deck non-skid to my pocket trawler. I replaced my trawler non-skid with a product called Soft Sand. I first heard about the product years ago on a boat restoration channel called Boat Works Today. I explain how to apply Soft Sand, some design considerations, and how it has performed over time. Improving your non-skid is a great do-it-yourself boat project than anyone can do using this method.

The Albin 27 was manufactured in the New England area of the United States from approximately 1983 to 1992. There were reportedly 500-600 of these boats manufactured. The Albin 27 is trailerable and weighed approximately 6,500 pounds from the factory. It is a true pocket trawler with a forward and aft cabin, galley, head, and pilothouse helm.

I bought my Albin 27 in August 2014 and started a multi-year boat refit and boat restoration.
