karrass1 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi all!!! I read somewhere that it would be good to get a couple of doors matts to be right on and off the boat to make it easier, especially for the dog. We are on Brinks Lullaby 3 next week and hoped you would give me your thoughts. The bottom of the door matt is pvc I believe. They are fairly inexpensive. I assume I would get an outdoor one but I just wanted to make sure we were not gonna slip around more than we need to. Thoughts??? And Thanks!!!

ChrisB Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Anything that will reduce the possibility of loss of grip is good on a boat. Please do not take this folks the wrong way! But I have seen some of the summer footwear in Tesco, Stalham, by crews heading towards a large large hire yard that are only fit for the bin, cheap hard sole trainer type. If you enjoy the Broads, if you enjoy hiring a boat anywhere, invest in a proper pair of razor cut sole, deck shoes. It could just save you the terrible events that occured at Acle within the last week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Being in Wroxham call into Norfolk Marine,they have lots of mats and foot wear as Chris said it's worth paying a little extra.Have you got a life jacket for the dog?The yard should have some available. Have a good and safe time Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 On B.A we have some of these - there very good quality, and price - but to take away with you may be a little bulky? http://amzn.eu/7VWPGGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Buy a couple of cheapies from Roys or Lathams and donate them to the yard on return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExUserGone Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 To give the dog a bit of grip and confidence on wet grp a cheap bathmat does a good job and usually has suckers on the underside to stop the mat sliding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
