| General Racing Applications: |
|
|
A
[return to top] |
Battens
Apply Sailkote to full length battens to make them slide in
and out easier and minimize friction during tacks and jibes
while helping the sail fill quicker and easier.
|
| |
B
[return to top] | Mainsail Track
Sailkote makes raising and lowering the main much easier in
all conditions. Sailkote will not attract dirt and contaminants
that foul the track. Sailkote makes reefing under load almost
effortless. |
| |
C
[return to top] | Standing
Rigging
Sailkote all standing rigging to minimize sail chafe and friction
making tacks and jibes much easier and more efficient. |
| |
D
[return to top] | Blocks
Sailkote keeps blocks corrosion free and lubricated for exceptionally
easy and reliable operation.
|
| |
E
[return to top] | Hatches
Spray Sailkote on hatches and companion way tracks for ease
of movement and corrosion control.
|
| |
F
[return to top] | Travelers & Cars
Sailkote keeps tracks and cars moving smoothly and corrosion
free. Sailkote will not attract dirt & grime or gum up
ball bearings.
|
| |
G
[return to top] | Tiller Head / Pintles & Steering Hardware
Sailkote eases movement and increases tiller sensitivity.
Keeps rudder hardware corrosion free.
|
| |
H
[return to top] | Head Sails
Apply Sailkote to genoas and spinnakers to keep them dry and
friction free. Sailkote minimizes friction from rubbing during
tacks and jibes and maximizes sail life, thus helping to maintain
sail shape.
|
| |
I
[return to top] | Mast
/ Spreaders
Sailkote the mast and spreaders to reduce headsail to mast
friction during tacks and jibes.
|
| |
J
[return to top] | Telltales
With Sailkote, telltales won't stick to sails even when wet. |
| |
K
[return to top] | Jib
Furling Gear
Sailkote will lubricate and protect jib furling gear making
it last longer and work much easier without gumming up.
|
| |
L
[return to top] | Displacement
& Planning Hulls
Coat your hull with Sailkote and see how much cleaner the
hull will stay at the waterline. The slick, hard, non-porous
coating makes it difficult for marine growth and waterborne
contaminants to adhere to the hull and slow you down.
|
| |
M
[return to top] | Keels
/ Centerboards & Rudders
In addition to minimizing underwater marine growth and adhesion,
Sailkote will help shed kelp and seaweed more easily, and
help to maintain laminar flow. Makes raising and lowering
daggerboards and centerboards nearly effortless.
