McLube SailKote Plus


McLube Sailkote is a wonderful product that reduces dirt build-up and improves the life of our customer’s sails. The treatment cost's $15 NZL per square meter of sail area to apply.

McLube Sailkote Plus is essentially the same product as its prececessor, Sailkote, except that it contains a fungicide that prevents mildew build-up. With reduced water absorption, mildew is not given the environment in which to develop.

Sailkote Plus was developed jointly by McLube and North Sails to be used on roller-furling sails and sails that spend long periods of time under sail covers on booms. McLube Sailkote and Sailkote Plus is recommended for 3DL® Marathon cruising sails as well as all laminates for improved longevity, visible condition, and sail handling.

A sailwash, Sailkote Plus combo works together to kill existing mildew and prevent further growth. There are many other benefits associated wth McLube Sailkote and Sailkote Plus including: 

  • Great for slide and batt-car performanceÂ
  • Luff ropes for R.F. and Tuff-luff sails slide much easier for hoisting and dousingÂ
  • Tell-tales fly free and evenly when wetÂ
  • Spinnakers are quicker out of the bag, and much smoother to jibe (asymmetrical)Â
  • Bonds tenaciously to sail cloth and laminatesÂ
  • Designed to repel water, salt, dirt, and grimeÂ
