Instead of doing work, I'm practicing doing knots at my desk.

Prevention is key, and after 8+yrs of sailing this is the first time I've
ever had ANY sticking. I'm sure the combination of a few good rinsings in
beachbreak at Waddell + a new skinny mast may be the cause. Maybe it's more
common for skinnys. who knows. Can't wait to get out of here to try Bob's
suggestion.

thank you.

> Agree with Chilly re prevention and suggest also using 1.5 wraps of clear
packing tape at start of rigging around mast joint. I started doing this to
avoid annoying joint separation in middle of rigging frenzy, but it also
adds to joint cleanliness I expect. Cost and rigging delay almost zero and
having the tape handy is great for sail rip repair on site.
