McLube is an easy to apply high performance dry lubricant that makes sails, hulls, rigging, deck hardware, and anything that moves on your boat run smoother, work more efficiently and last longer.
Sailkote is a translucent liquid formulated with environmentally friendly Dupont Krytox®. It sprays or wipes on and quickly dries to a hard, smooth, ultra-slick, hydrophobic dry coating that bonds tenaciously to almost any surface. Unlike oils, silicones, and waxes, it will never attract dirt, water and contaminants that eventually degrade lubrication performance.
Used by sailors across the globe from maxi-racers to sailboarders. Race proven by America’s Cup Teams, Olympics Medalists, and One Design World Champions. Discover the difference Sailkote can make in your sailing performance and enjoyment. 16 oz. aerosol.

Reduce Seaming with Railroaded Fabric
Most upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide and, if it features a pattern, the pattern is run down the length of the bolt. When upholstering, it generally looks best to run a patterned fabric from the top to the bottom of the piece and from the back to the front. This requires seams every 54 inches on larger pieces like sofas and long boat cushions. Alternatively, a Railroaded fabric pattern can be used to eliminated unwanted seams. The patterns in Railroaded Sunbrellas run across their widths. This makes Railroaded Sunbrella perfect for these longer projects.
In this illustration, the fabric rolls out to cover the cushions without need for a seam.
This is a photo example of the railroaded fabric coming off the roll.
This is a photo example of fabric that is not railroaded coming off the roll.
In this illustration the fabric rolls out vertically, and for this type of single cushion, would require several seams to cover the couch.
