I have some experience with the 200 and 300 series of Safetywalk. My Mystere 6.0 has a strip of white 200 folded over the deck-gunwhale corner; must be about a 3" piece. It works very well with the wetsuit booties I wear. It has been there for years and has no glue failures. (click on "attachment")

I use the 300 gray on the SoloRights I build and have had no complaints about it.

But I would say this: If you are going to fold it around a corner as it is on my boat, stay with the thinner 200 series; it should be more compliant to the contour than would the 300. I also expect that the 200 will stand up to wear and tear longer than the 300, due to its density.

Kind of cool that it is available in clear!

I think that if I was doing more barefoot sailing than with booties on, I might' rather have the thicker 300 instead of the thin 200. But I am not sure since I have not tried it.

By all means, stay away from the mineral (sand) safetywalk. It will eat through your flesh, trap harness, shorts, sheets and other control lines! I have been bloodied up for 6 weeks due to a fall over the trap-rack on an Ultimate 30 that had it on its wings. I'm still cleaning blood stains from bed sheets, shirts, furniture, car interior, sails, running rigging, etc.
