The gate I made from aluminum flooring edging for our 29-2 is the one on
the Photoalbum. It worked well.

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
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

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,

I was looking for something like that. Saw an idea for one on the 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
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.
Of course YMWV.

For my C, I am looking for a mainsail gate that allows the sail slides to
slide past the gate entrance without falling out. The gate is about 7cm long.
