Mike and I had a great sailing season at Jericho this year and I really started
to learn what the Swift is capable of. Virtually every time we sailed together
we were impressed, perplexed and enlightened by all the nuances of the Swift.
By sailing together we continuously challenged each other and have some
interesting observations coming out of the season.
Now that the sailing season is coming to an end and the ski edges are being
sharpened (they got their first backcountry ski day in Calgary this week end)
thoughts turn to maintenance of this awesome craft. The first question that I
would like to re-open is the mast treatment. Has anyone had success with UV
treating their mast. I applied West 207 to the Forte boom with poor results
last season. The boom discoloured, went yellow and the epoxy did not bond well.
I am wondering if we should be just using the Interlux perfection 2 part linear
varnish for the mast, or has anyone had a full season on an epoxy treated mast?

The following is an email from Forte (Tony) regarding spar issues. Let's
talk about this together before sending any direct responses to Forte.
