How to Clean and Lubricate Your Mast Track

Mastlube has what you need..

When a storm is approaching, the best time to reef was fifteen minutes ago, and you hope like hell, your main doesn't stick.

MastLube is the original one stop shop for getting what you need to free up your sail, whether it be hoisting or dropping fast. Our Hydrophilic Technology will clean and lubricate your mast track for a slick glide up and down. These self-forming absorbent surfaces mold to your unique track profile where you need it most.

Here you'll be able to choose which of our products best matches your needs based on your current track profile and what type of slug, slider, or Battcar you use. Browse our products or look at the chart below.

Take a look at your current Mast Track

Notice how your sail attaches to your mast. Does yours fasten via a round slug, a half-round barrel, or a flat slider? Or does it go up and down on an external track with outer battcars or outer glides?

The answer will help you select which MastLube you need.
