Innovative pads that eliminates rope chafe damage to cockpit sides and cabin tops have become more widely available in Europe.<\/p>\n
Marine equipment distributor Osculati s.r.l, has been appointed as stockist\/distributor for Wear And Tear Pads in Europe.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese simple self – adhesive stainless steel \u2018pads\u2019 protect gel coat surfaces from rope and line chafe and over 16,000 have now been sold around the world,\u201d said Andrew Grogono, inventor of the pads.<\/p>\n
Pointing out that chafed gelcoat affects sale value, he added: \u201cThe pads are guaranteed to never wear out and now utilise the world\u2019s leading \u20183 M\u2019 VHB adhesive system which assures the best possible bond to the gel coat surface.\u201d<\/p>\n
Easy to fit<\/p>\n
Ex aerospace engineer Andrew runs the Wear And Tear Pads business with his wife on their premises near Bristol, where all production is carried out.<\/p>\n
Launched in 2009, the pads were the first product of their type on the market and are particularly suitable for sheets and furling lines.<\/p>\n
They are supplied ready to fit immediately, with no screws or fixing necessary, unlike normal \u2018rubbing strakes\u2019.<\/p>\n
In addition to Osculati in Europe, the pads are stocked by distributors globally including Force 4 in the UK, Compass 24 in Germany, Marine Outfitters in Canada and Sailboat Owners in the US.<\/p>\n
