Oh Mark- on your last question, have never used it on the run rail. We clean that with Vaseline every few months and the red comes back nicely. Tom and Kirstin SV L'ORIENT SM2K 422

Mark- this is what I used. Bought a case of it from a Dutch paint store in Bonaire. The pic I posted was of my sun-bleached deck locker half treated with polytrol (which was fully dry). Joel- as usual

Hi Tom and Mark. I have used Polytrol with good results for decades and it does what they say it will. One caution. Painters absolutely hate this stuff. The reason Polytrol works so good is it is not

Hi Steve, I paid 8.70€/M plus shipping. I’m not sure she has enough to do another boat. She couldn’t tell me anything about it when I was placing my order. Said she had Some of several

Thanks Paul. It has just been sold. Perhaps we'll still cross paths in AU/NZ! We plan to be there Nov 2020 or thereabouts. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Thanks Bill, Alan and Tom Fisher (offline) for your help, I was able to remove the inner sleeve (my terminology might be not accurate) by soaking the unit in kerosene over-night and using a vise to

You did not state whether you have a swivel, which could account for some of the issue. The other thing that you should take into account is that SS chain will twist easier. The links of galvanized

Congratulations to you. I am in the market for an SM and looked at Nunky a few times online. The deck looks simply amazing for her age, (redone in recent times perhaps?) and attention to detail was
