Benefits of using Team McLube Sailkote or Sailkote Plus:

Protect your investment… sails can be expensive, and Sailkote prolongs the life of your sails. Friction and chafing are greatly reduced. Keep your sails cleaner, drier, and mildew-free. Dirt, grime, even water won’t stick. Sails will furl or roll up roughly *35% tighter. This means reduced windage, Improve performance. If your mainsail is designed to furl inside the mast or boom, Sailkote will allow you to have a larger mainsail, or you can choose a heavier, longer lasting cloth and still fit within the same designated space. Furling becomes much easier on any point of sail, especially with in-mast or in boom furling. No more sticking or chafing your sails while furling and unfurling. Keep your spinnakers and other sails drier. Reduce water absorption by more than *50%, reduce weight aloft, reduce drying times by more than 50%, and handle your sails friction free during sets, gybes, and takedowns. Luff tapes run more smoothly making sails easier to hoist. Telltales will fly freely, even when wet or in light air. *Data based on both scientific and practical experiments.

Here’s what the professional sailmakers have to say about Team McLube Sailkote Plus:

“Each month we coat literally thousands of square feet of sails with great results. As more and more sails are made with laminates, the sailmaking industry needs a sure and economical way of combating the inherent problem of mildew. Team McLube Sailkote Plus not only prevents mildew for years, but due to the lower friction of the sail surface roller furling headsails and mainsails roll up easier and in a much smaller circumference." -Jeff Andersen, Sailmaking Support Systems

“We have a 30,000 sq ft Floor dedicated to Mclube Sailkote Plus. We have coated sails exclusively for North Sails for 4 years and have sprayed everything from small local boats to Superyachts. As a Regional wash center that washes thousands of sails a year, we know mildew. When sprayed on a new sail or one that has been cleaned, Mclube Sailkote Plus has performed well beyond our expectations." -George Durst/ Andres Hernandez, North Sails South Carolina
