I'm looking for something to spray in the sail track and lugs of the Flying Scot I've been sailing. I have so far not gotten the main up to my satisfaction. I don't mind springing for a 12oz bottle of McLube's Sailcoat. But I'd like to know it will work first. The application instructions specify a clean try track with prior Tx's removed. I'm not going to be able to do that as the mast is up. I'm pretty sure the sailing center hasn't done much or anything to lubricate the track. But clean? These things are out in the weather on salt water. Prolly not clean.
I used the product on my 356, without cleaning the track, and I'd say the improvement was marginal. I'd spray the track and the bolt rope on the jib. I'm not sure I effectively applied enough. On the FS the main has slugs. So I'd spray them and as much of the track as I can reach (8').
Any insight on the cleaning? Alternative products?
