There are two main ways to improve traction on a wet surface. Get rid
of the moisture and add bumps.

Adding traction grooves to your launch would help channel moisture
away from the contact surface, keeping it drier. A good picture of a

grooved launch can be seen here, at this Australian boat launch
construction company's website.

There are coatings available specifically for improving traction under
slippery conditions.
