Re concerns on traction, after refinishing the floors with a gloss, I was concerned about traction but this has not been an issue for me even when the floor is wet. I'm not sure satin or gloss finishes are really that different in terms of traction. On my boat, rubber soled shoes grip great at any heeling level and barefoot is not bad.
I sail on a lake where we don't have heavy seas though. Offshore / Great Lakes boats might want to paint some light level of non-skid in regardless of the finish? Apparently there used to be a product called Ultimate Sole that was meant for this application. Not sure what is out there that is equivalent now. Bailey White 1979 C&C 36 Atlanta, GA
