Hunter 18.5 sail slugs

[LTDARR]

I broke off five sail slugs off my main sail this Monday. What would be the best replacements to buy for these, thanks.

LTDARR,
You could go with an exact replacement. I upgraded a bit with these nylon and steel slugs.

Be sure and order the correct size for your mast.

Thanks Dave, did you use a shackle to attach them or did you have them sewn on. George

My main has grommets. There are snap clips that attach the slugs to the grommets. I am able to use the original all plastic, or the new slugs with the original snap clips.

The snap clips are a holy bear to open. I think I used a vice grip and a needle nose pliers to get the job done.

I haven't found a reference photo for them.
