Tom is great. He's very smart, and seems driven to come up with excellent designs, and improve them.highly recommend, Mastgates.com, regardless of which product you may choose. (btw, I had some install questions, called Tom @ 9am eastern, he returned the call at 6am his time and talked me thru it...stellar customer service!) Clearly one of the best investments you'll make for a C22, no more slugs falling out when reefing, and less than a "boat buck"!
He's definitely willing to incorporate new ideas.
As you say, his customer service is second to none.
I spent time on the phone with Tom ( http://www.mastgates.com ), determining what would be my best choice.
Due to the fact I have larger 10mm slugs with metal bails ( http://www.bainbridgeint.com/Item.aspx?Item=PRD-900102&PartNo=A019S ) , he was concerned that they may catch on the plastic insert gate design.
He said most C22 mains are 8 or 9mm slugs, which would work fine with any of his C22 designs.
He also felt that the stainless external gate was a slightly better choice on a C22, if the sail was being removed all the time.
Here's hoping that my slugs won't get caught.
What diameter are your slugs ?
