There are two ABYC requirements for new boats- one being the GFCI
requirement ( 5mA trip specified ) for the receptacles in wet areas and the
second being ELCI breakers on the shore power feed which typically have a
30mA trip. Both are required.

Poly Glow depends on the slight porosity of aged gelcoat for proper
adhesion. It is not advised for brand new boats for the same reason.
They are too slick for it to stick.

What is the “it” that will deteriorate- the Awlgrip or the Poli-glow. Either way, I am not sure what to do this spring. I can either strip the Poli-glow and use Awlcare or keep using Poli-glow. Added to this is the fact that the Awlgrip got badly scratched/scuffed by an unpadded dock last fall (l

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 -
I had one attached by cord to a shackle at base of forestay when I had
the roller furling unit on Nut Case. When using RF sail we of course
did not use this. When not using RF sail we would drop the swivel on
the RF down to drum level (this involved removing the feeder starter on

I made my own pre-feeder from a couple of scraps of starboard that pinch
together via a screw and wingnut. It took a little experimenting to get
the shape of the jaws right, but it wasn't that hard, works well, and it

If one needs to strip Poli-Glow off a boat, use floor stripper from the
hardware store. Usually you need to dilute it to get the Future or what other
floor polish you have been using off, but if you are brave (we had a bad spot)
you can clean it off using the stripper undiluted. Be careful, it i
When I finally got fed up with Poly-Glow I tried Poly-prep to remove it to no

The Poly glow or whatever will deteriorate before the Awl grip which is a
very tough polyurethane paint. My recommendation get rid of the poly stuff
and clean your Awlgrip and then apply Awlcare if you want more shine.a good

Joel,
Not sure what you have, furler, Tuff-Luff, etc., but here's my take on
pre-feeders.
First, highly recommended. They will greatly reduce the potential for
ripping a luff tape. (more on that at the bottom). I have the Schaefer
1205-01 roller pre-feeder and love it.
Second, attach it with

Poly-Glow is essentially acrylic floor wax. If you try to sand without
stripping the Poly-Glow first, you end up with the sandpaper gummed up with the
acrylic.
Nothing wrong wit the chemistry or with the gel coat. Just inexperienced

Every headsail on both of my boats is folded like you describe. And I am
