I have found that the best remover for superficial rust is PhosLo or similar weak phosphoric acid rust removal product (Ace Hardware/Home Depot). Spray it on, let is sit a couple minutes, rinse, rinse, rinse.

Hi Andrew,
A good rinse is always good after a sail. Even better is to wash with soap.
Also, at the beginning of each season, wax is always good where it is appropriate.
Curious -- "all new zincs" how many do you have? Besides the shaft of course.

Hello all,
Well Dawn Treader is experiencing something very new - salt water. The boat has all new zincs and after its first sail 3 weeks ago a gave her a quick hose down.
But...
The screws on the ladder are suddenly rusting, screws on the blocks are rusting, and parts on the shrouds are rusting. And now I have rust stains. :-(
After today's wild sail on the bay the boat got a massive hose down. Will this help or will I now have to accept this rusting.
Very upsetting here
Andrew
