Does anyone know where I can get some kind of a plug or plate to fit over the feeder slot on a 1980 Catalina 27 mast, where the sail slides fit in. I guess it would have to come in two pieces. In the older Catalina the slots are set up to high. If I keep the stopper screw in it make it hard to fluke the sail at the end of the day, also the sail cover doesn’t fit right. If I take the screw out I have to feed the sail slides every time I go out sailing. I like to keep thing simple. The new boats don’t have this problem. If anyone knows where I can get buy one or get one made that would be great. Thank you, JOHN 1980 Catalina 27

Mast Gate

If you search the forum archives with the words mast gate. You will find a lot of info and links from how to make different designs to one person who will make them. I had the same question for my C22 not too long ago. I have material to make mine before the summer.

I made a mast gate (or would that be two?) once. Took two small pieces of wood and used metal epoxy to adhere them to the mast. They've worked just fine for about 4 years now. Cheap & easy, though probably not perfect! LaDonna
