I tried lantern wick for a while. Worked great but did not last long in UV exposure.
Baggywrinkle candidates mentioned in the past include cotton rope, custom cut sponges, pieces of cotton T-shirts, etc. As important as the material might be the design. The baggywrinkle should contact the deck and hang down a few inches from the rub rail so the water drips clear of the topsides. I need to make some new ones for Touche'. Probably just a cotton rope with a knot. -- Dennis C.
