I know all about the flat spotting problem because the previous owners of my Nacra 20 used Sailkote on the traveler bearings and I had to replace them.



I wasn't a big fan of putting anything on travler car bearings until I first used the "One Drop" product (Harken or McLube?). It works magic on recirculating bearings...and the company I work at has a proprietary dry conveyor lubricant (that is mineral oil based) that works really well and lasts longer than the one drop....I use it on traveler bearings and beach cat wheels.
