Title: MacBooks on boats
#7
8I purchased a non-slip tray liner - intended to stop tumblers from slipping on a tray. I did some tests on a tray with my white plastic MacBook and it stayed put at an angle of 70 degrees +. I purchased a mat by the name of Dycem on Ebay UK from a firm called Essential Aids - it cost me £12.40. I think it was intended for use by the elderly.

I was so confident after this that I just have my MacBook sitting on this mat on my chart table and it has never budged, even in quite severe pitching. At end of season I just wash the mat in water with washing-up liquid and it restores the stickiness.

Granted if I had a complete knock-down to horizontal the MacBook might come off the chart table - but this would be the lead of my worries.

I recommend this. Best of luck, Tony
