FITTING OUT Sea Sure expands its range for 2023 29/03/2023 Save article Sea Sure is expanding its ‘stick on’ range of fittings for 2023 and 2024. SHOW FULLSCREEN The Rope Tidies can be stuck onto a boat using epoxy or similar products. The company’s new stick-on Rope Tidy comes complete with a 3M VHB adhesive pad so users can peel the release film off and stick the product to a boat. The Rope Tidies can also be stuck on using epoxy or similar products. “The advancement in adhesive and epoxies has meant that it is no longer necessary to always bolt or screw fittings to boats, you can simply stick or glue them on,” explained Sea Sure’s sales and marketing director, Dan Henderson. “The biggest benefit of sticking a fitting on rather than screwing is that you don’t need to drill holes in your boat. “Drilling holes can lead to a number of issues, the main one being water ingress.” In addition, points out Dan, if fittings need to be moved around a boat at a later date, the hole will need to be filled as part of the process. The retail pack contains an alcohol wipe to clean the surface prior to sticking, sandpaper so that the surface can be prepared to give the best adhesion, and stickers for the front of the Rope Tidy that are printed with the names of each rope or halyard, so these can be stored correctly. The stick-on Rope Tidy joins Sea Sure’s range of stick-on Pad eyes and FLO tell tales. The product will be available from chandleries over the next few months.
