Subject: Re: Rules
Wax of any kind, whether nautical, automotive or other, falls within "alters the mechanical or chemical interaction between the hull and the water" portion of the rule. Thus wax should not be used on shells that are competing in a race.

Can you tell me if this rule, or any other rule, precludes waxing the hull of a boat with automotive wax or something similar?
3-107 Foreign Substances
No boat shall have on its hull any substance that is water soluble or partially soluble, or that alters the mechanical or chemical interaction between the hull and water, except that non-soluble varnishes, paints or other similar surface finishes may be applied. The use of "bottom tape," including "3M RibletsTM" on the outside of the hull is specifically prohibited.
