I have a 1985 Hunter 285 with the original Dutchman Sail. Several of the slides are broken. Can you tell me the size of the slide I will need to replace

Take a sample slug to West Marine
If they are the little white plastic slides, WM has them in different sizes. If the PO installed some other slides, then you probably need to know the brand and size, and contact the manufacturer's website. What kind are they, and what do they look like? Got a picture to post here? That would help.

Not to be...
a smartass, but I'd consider at least a "recut" of that 21 year old sail while you're at it. Bagged out old main can be one of your worst enemies in sailing performance. A competent sail loft could recut and give you full battens, loose foot, and possibily 5 or more years of life. I had a 28.5, '87 model, that really benefitted from a recut main.
