| Post subject: | Comptip Maintenance |
Hi all, Just bought a new (old) 16. Upgraded from my '82 to an '84 (redline). This boat has a comptip that is beginning to see some wear from UV exposure and from the main halyard. I can see glass in a couple of spots. My questions are: 1. What, if any, actions should I take on the small amounts of glass that are exposed 2. What normal maintenance should I perform on the comptip to reduce further wear? Waxing? Painting? I am fabricating a sunbrella comptip cover with leftover material I have from another project. Thanks! |

Possibly paint or a clear coat over the entire Ctip and then covering and waxing from time to time as you would with the hulls. |

Thanks for the quick reply, Matt. Any thoughts of the type of paint you recommend that will hold up to the stress of pre-bending the mast? I have seen several varieties of Marine grade paint...enamel, Polyurethane, Two Part Polyurethane, etc... |

I have been told that there is a Vinyl paint? Otherwise a two part epoxy paint will flex plenty. |
