A sailboat without rust stains is a sailboat that isnt used much. If
rust stains bother you, find another hobby.


Better grades of SS will reduce stains along with correct hardware.
Just about all sailboats have stains somewhere...but they really
shouldn't. I've seen it on very pricey boats. None on my 1st 35s5, but
it's a matter of time. The ladder has some rusty spots.
