Stus-List Re: Mainsail Gate
The gate I made from aluminum flooring edging for our 29-2 is the one on the Photoalbum. It worked well. http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/sailgate/sailgate.htm The previous sail gate I made for my Shark was laminated in place from carbon fiber and epoxy (in a plastic bag) then trimmed to fit. It also worked well The current sail gate on Shift is a thick stainless weldment that doesn't fit very well and hangs the sail slugs up occasionally. I plan to make a new one *someday*.

Make something out of plastic? Threaded stainless bolts tapped into the mast to hold it in place? Two rectangles with a couple of holes drilled through them. Tap the holes in the mast. Don’t forget to sink the heads. I suspect that would set you up.

Depends on whether you want the slides/slugs to drop down past the opening or not. My cover fits much nicer when the mainsail drops down another 4-6 inches, so I have the gates on mine; I used to have the stop. I attempted to make my own using a flooring carpet strip. It worked for a week or two but the material is too pliable. A lot depends on what your track opening looks like.

I was looking for something like that. Saw an idea for one on the c&c web page. Then I stopped into the Binnacle and saw a little fitting that screws into the groove/slot and simply blocks it off. Placed above the groove after feeding the slides in, keeps them from falling back down and out of the track. $13 here in Halifax.

You might be well advised to make it yourself. In Canada, I couldn't find one for any reasonable price. And when you try having it delivered from the US, the shipping costs are ridiculous.
