I use a strip of canvas the same colour as my sail cover. It is about 5" wide and 5' long. I wrap it around and it does the job in all but heavy, prolonged rains. John on Enterprise

Been on for several years now and is still in good condition. Absolutely leak tight once you fill the main sail slot with sealant like LifeSeal. The gray blends in with the aluminum mast and collar so it's barely noticeable. Highly recommended. Bought it on eBay. Dennis C.

I've seen the poured rubber block that is more or less permanent. Wally has a write up about how he did it on Stella Blue and I saw it first hand on Jake's boat. I like it but I think it is too big of a commitment right now. Until then, I'm thinking of using the self-vulcanizing rubber tape that is 6" wide. Having used similar products like "Rescue Tape" for other projects, I expect that I'll need a length that is at least 3 times the circumference of my mast collar (35" * 3 = 105"). Does anybody have any thoughts on the best way to do this job, or which product is best?Thanks, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
