I found a cheap, simple, (two of my favorite words) way to lube my mast
track today. It was one of those details that got lost in the launching
rush and Skip pointed out how sticky my sail was going up and down. Oh yes,
I think I forgot to mention that I took Skip and Lydia sailing while they
were in Maine. One regular contributor to this group, at least, can testify
that my boat isn't imaginary. He actually didn't comment on how sticky my
sail was but politely suggested how much smoother it would come down with
the application of some Teflon grease.

Anyway, I took one of those Scotch Brite pads that doesn't have a sponge
on it and cut it in half. I then put in a row of stitching such that, when
the edges were splayed out, it formed a "T" shape to fit the track. Close
to the stitching, I punched a piece of marline through and tied it into a
loop. I did the same on the other end but left the marline untied.

sketch?

Stitching is what holds your sail and clothes together.
