[Alberg30] Re: What do you clean those hanks with?

[George Dinwiddie]

Joe,

I've never worried about a little verdigris on the hanks, as long
as they operate smoothly.  When they get a little sticky, usually
you can free them up by operating them a few times.  If that doesn't
work, I'd suggest trying some dry teflon lubricant (available for
lubricating locks).  I'd be wary of petroleum-based lubricants 
because they can attract and hold dirt, making the problem worse
than before.  Also, they could stain your sails.
