can you use mclube as a polish iv heard of it being done
funny, as it isnt class leagle [sic] to apply lube, wax teflon ect. to anything which touches the water, which just so happens to be the hull
Huh? Rule 11 a/b for the Laser class read:
11. HULL FINISH
(a) Waxing, polishing and fine wet and dry sanding
of the hull is permitted, provided the intention and
effect is to polish the hull only. Polishing/sanding
shall not be used to remove mould imperfections.
(b)
Sanding and refinishing of the hull with the
intention or effect to lighten the hull or improve the
performance, finish, materials or shape beyond
the original is not permitted.
read rule 8.prohibited.
8. HULL COATINGS
The use of slowly soluble applications which might
alter the boundary layer characteristics of the hull are
teflon is not a wax it is a fluoropolymer, which is also a slowly solunle application. also, read rule 11b
Sanding and refinishing of the hull with theintention or effect to lighten the hull or improve the
performance, finish, materials or shape beyond
the original is not permitted.
Mclube also falls under rule 8
When you get out of your cubicle
theres some pants rules, mast tie is grinding my gears at the moment...you dont need it!!!
come back and tell us how you feel about this when you flip over and your mast falls out
Why wouldn't the Cunningham provide enough support to hold your mast in? Either way I don't mind using a retainer line but I just thought I would bring up that point.
it wouldnt fall out if u have rope handles on the cunningham control line. the old system didnt have a retainer line i dont think, because the downhaul would hold it in place. but i see ur point it would be an extra strain on the deck.
I only know Al from sailing a NQR in Vancouver and seeing him there, as well as seeing him school the fleet at Canadian's last weekend. The guy is fast.
So you're gonna have to explain what you meant by "talk to him about it"
Ohhhh. I thought you were implying he had something specific to say or a story about the mast retaining line haha.
And I'm not on the Canadian sailing team.
Annnnnd Al is located in Vancouver, while I'm in Halifax...a tiny spread that is not traversed too often
I wish I had a guy with his knowledge around all the time...
I do race often. Not so much this summer as I am still rebuilding from a serious car accident last July. I used to take my racing/training/gym time very seriously, and hope to begin doing so again this winter.
I do alright, nothing special and I will never bulls#!t about or inflate my results/achievements.
I don't think I'll start my Olympic campaign just yet..................
