Because it will deteriorate in time and you will have to do it over. With Awlgrip all you really need to do is wash it down well and then if you want a little more do 1 coat of Awlcare, which is really easy to apply as well.should least 20+years at least barring scratches and dings _

My pre-feeder is attached to a padeye, at the base of the forestay, with a piece of line. Once the jib is hoisted, it drops off the luff to the deck. You don't want the pre-feeder attached once the job is hoisted, or it would jam when you try to lower the jib. If your luff rope goes all the way

Hi Joel, Take a good look at the boats that are racing well, and see how they do it. The pre-feeder is often on a shock corded line so it re-tracks and stays out of the way, likely mounted on the foil. Do cut the sail luff-line, in just the right place so the pre-feeder can release itself
