This would be very similar to the use of applying Teflon polish to a bottom of foils. Please let us know opinions here in this posting thread. Larry Christy our Chief Measurer will study and recommend. Last edited by David Erwin; 08/29/16 11:28 AM.

See US Sailing Rule 53 Skin Friction. So Eelsnot is approved for use. Larry Christy J30 National Class Measurer 9/7/2016
