[Rhodes22-list] Failed Stays

[Michael D. Weisner]

Ed,

Yeah, racing guys really like wax.  It gives them something to blame if they 
lose and something to talk about if they win.  Maybe they should get body 
waxed like swimmers do.

I believe that the mast extrusion is clear anodized.  For info, see:
http://www.anodizing.org/definitions.html

I do not think that wax will hurt the coating but it will probably not help 
it much either.  For cleaning, see:
