I have used Thunderbird for years. The problem is my ISP's spam filter, I
never saw quite a few list posts. That's why I use Gmail for the C&C List.

Thank you, everyone for your suggestions.

Tom Buscaglia mentioned chamois. I have a cheep synthetic one that didn't
work well for its intended purpose; maybe it'll work for the toe rail. I'll
start with that and move on to other ideas if it doesn't work here ether.

Thanks again,

Old face cloth. Cut in half. Fold over. Insert in toerail hole. Half hangs
over the side. Other half inboard of toerail. Wicks very well. Replace as

I simply cut natural sponge and stuff it through the toerail.  Yes, it

I have heard that a strip of chamois cut into a 
"T" works good.  I just wrap a 10-12" length of 
left over 1/4" double braided line around one of 
the holes so it lays at the buttom of the rail 
and it works fine.  IMO, no need for anytyhign custom or special.

Amazon sell self watering wicking cord.   It is made from a polyester-mixed 
fiber, so it may have some UV resistance.  It costs $10 per 50ft, so even if it 
has a limited life, you would have plenty to spare.

That's exactly what I did.  Worked great but UV killed it in a few months.
It fell apart.

Sewed two short pieces of lamp wick under a single long piece.  The short
pieces laid in the puddle on the deck and the long piece went out through
the toe rail and hung down a few inches.  Great design.  No longevity.

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.

[Novabraid via CnC-List]

John,

Historically, baggywrinkles are pieces of old rope or fabric attached to
shrouds to reduce chafe on sails.  Maybe baggywrinkles that fall off the
shrouds can absorb water on the deck, but I don't think that's the intended
use.
