Holmenkol

[Peter Bauer]

I was thinking of applying to my spinn sock.  Anyone know if it's still hold anywhere?  I hear its pretty nasty, so it must work well.

Drew Harper has some I think.  Shoot him a line.

If you take the spin sock out to slick it up, watch out cuz that baby goes back into the cockpit.

My neighbor has a business selling high-end ski racing gear and doing boot fittings and other stuff:

I noticed on his box trailer a sticker for Holmenkol, and I asked him about it yesterday, and if he could still get it. I remember Drew saying it was hard to get. My neighbor said the company went thru some hard times but he could get anything I wanted from them.

Since he mostly deals with their wax, can you guys tell me which product is used for sails?

Thanks,

jason

Seal n' Glide.  If you have a good source, would love to hear about it.

[Drew Harper]

Seal and Glide has been removed from Holmenkol's line. They still make lots of wax, etc, but not seal and glide. They won't consider making a batch for less than 1000 gallons. They no longer want to distribute it so someone would have to take it on. 1000 gals cost is unknown but it sounded like $100K

We bought a lot of it. Have quite a few of the smaller kits and even a few large kits. Stuff isn't cheap.

We've searched high and low for an alternative. Can't fine one

I found some at Hartley Boats Chandlery in the UK.  They're on the web.  Be prepared for a huge DHL charge.

The kite surfers use something similar. I forget the name but maybe worth researching. Is still cheaper than upgrading to impregnated sailcloth.

[Mark Hinrichs]

Yes, I bought through Hartley since seeing the info, thanks....It was expensive, but I received the stuff this week.

I still have Holmenkol in stock. $44.95 plus $7 shipping for a 25ml kite (just enough for a Viper Kite) and we still have a few 100ML kits at $150 plus $8 shipping.
