McLube Sailkote

At True North Sailing, we understand the importance of precision, performance, and reliability when you’re out on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned competitive sailor or a cruising enthusiast, maintaining your sailing gear is key to ensuring its smooth operation and longevity. 

That’s why we are proud to offer McLube Sailkote dry lubricant; a revolutionary solution that enhances performance by dramatically reducing friction on your boat’s moving parts.

But why is McLube Sailkote such a game-changer? and how do our team at True North Sailing ensure you get the best from this exceptional product? In this article, we’ll find out. 

What is McLube Sailkote Dry Lubricant?

McLube Sailkote is a high-performance dry lubricant developed specifically for the marine industry. Unlike traditional greasy or oily products, Sailkote applies as a liquid and dries to a hard, ultra-slick, dry film that doesn’t attract dirt, salt, or grime. Once cured, it offers outstanding low-friction performance that remains durable and effective under the most demanding sailing conditions.

This product is the go-to solution for Olympic medallists, America’s Cup teams, and offshore racers. But it’s not just for professionals as recreational sailors, club racers, and boat owners of all levels have discovered the benefits of Sailkote’s clean, dry technology.

Why Sailors Choose McLube Sailkote

Here at True North Sailing, we’ve chosen to stock McLube Sailkote because it solves a multitude of common sailing issues in one easy-to-apply solution, setting itself apart with its:

  • Superior Low-Friction Coating – McLube Sailkote reduces friction by up to 33% compared to traditional wet lubricants. This makes it ideal for sliders, hatches, sail tracks, battens, and blocks; all areas where resistance can seriously hinder performance.
  • Clean and Dry Finish – Because it dries completely, Sailkote doesn’t leave behind sticky residues that attract dirt and salt. This not only keeps components cleaner but also extends the lifespan of sails, fittings, and other critical gear.
  • Long-Lasting Protection – Sailkote isn’t just a short-term fix; it’s engineered for durability. It resists water wash-off and remains effective through heavy use and variable weather conditions.
  • Easy to Apply – With its aerosol spray format, applying McLube Sailkote is a quick and hassle-free process. Whether you’re prepping for a regatta or performing annual maintenance, it’s an efficient way to optimise performance.
