Hi Cherri, The stopper that Giles is talking about is called a track stop and the kind I use on my M15 is the round 1/2 inch diameter one. In the 2002 West Marine catalog it is shown on page 1018 and is model 108332 for $ 7.49. As Giles also mentioned they do go overboard quite frequently so if you go that way you might want to buy two. On his M15 I think Joe Kidd uses some sort of bungee wrapped around the mast after the sail slugs go in the track. I never thought of drilling a hole in the mast and using some sort of pin. Thanks for that thought Giles, something to mull over.
On the bright side Cherri, the forestay did not come loose and drop the mast. Don Olson M15 Phoenix, Az _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
