1999 H260 main sail slug size?

[Tom2909]

Hi,

Does anyone know the sail slug diameter for the the 1999 Hunter 260? The boat is an hour away and I need to order some replacements.

Thank you!
Tom

I found that the sail slugs are 3/8 inch diameter, available from Doyle Sails.

Size probably depends on your type of mast. My 2003 H260 has a US Spars mast. The slugs that fit are by Bainbridge A018S 7/16". I've broken several slugs so order a dozen. Readily available on many websites. There are two types, the plastic and SS bale. Shop around. I think I paid a lot less than what is offered on the WM site but can't find my invoice.

I broke one of the original plastic slugs on my 2002 H260 last month. I replaced all with the Nylon / Stainless type, also 7/16" on my mast. The new nylon ones slide much better. (See George's photo)
