Yes, I've used a sail stop, but the slot opening on my M17 is too
high for reefing with to stop in place. Also, those stops tend to end
up in the water now and then!

We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

For under $10 you can buy a purpose made "track stop" that fits
inside the
slot and keeps the slugs in. Any marine supply can get one. It has
a thumbscrew
for easy removal to hank sails on or off. If you want to see
several go to
the westmarine dot com web site and put the keyword sail track
stop in their
search window.
Another way is to drill a small hole through each side of the slot
and
insert a cotter pin in to bridge the slot.
