In an interesting follow-up to our recent relationship with Oracle Racing and Naiad of Newport, RI, I was contacted by our distributor in Australia. Paul Madden, of Southern Cross Textiles, provides SeaDek non-skid material to Yamba Welding in New South Wales. Yamba builds a large variety of boat and was kind enough to send over some images of our product installed on two Naiads built at their facility near the mouth of the Clarence River.
The first photo is of a police patrol boat:
The second is an ocean rescue boat, also a Naiad:
