Mike,
Regarding your question of why some folks apply a filler to the deck and then sand it off - it seems to me that I remember reading somewhere that in doing this the residue remaining between the planks after sanding is meant to simulate caulking. I am planking the deck of my own Niagara at the moment and considered this approach. But I am quite content with the look I get with just a light sanding of the decking. I would think, however, that in order to be effective the filler used would have to be a different color than the deck material. Not sure how this might affect the deck in terms of discoloring.

Mike,
I second Jim's recommendation for trying Ace Hardware. I had a need for the same thing you are looking for and my hobby store told me to try Ace. Sure enough they had just the item in stock.

It should be loose enough to twist side to side and slide up and down the mast.
