Hi, Wayne
I checked out that gate web page and my personal opinion is that Rod's approach is better, especially for a trailer sailer. The only part of it that I can see could be improved upon is to replace the thumbscrew with something else that would be less vulnerable to vibration or other means of slipping. Maybe a pin across the groove?
Here is a sketch of the arrangement:

Hi Tod I too would be intrested in knowing if you installed a gate, if so could you
post the details?. Currently I'm using a sail stop but would like to change to a gate, any information would be appreciated. Wayne M17 #204

Tod, My main is at the sail shop having the second set of reef points installed (SF-Bay Winds). So, there's no hurry, but if you could do a measurement it would be wonderful. I agree on the slugs. So much easier to deal with. Did you put a gate or a stop at the bottom so you can flake the sail?
