The sail entry gate on the mast of my 1979 Hunter 25 is very high on the mast. When I raise the sail the lugs will pop out as they pass the gate. I have been using a sail stop to keep them above the gate but the sail rests over 6 feet above the deck and forms a loose, huge triangle even before the sail is raised, it looks terrible. There is a threaded hole next to the entry gate and scratch marks where something had been bolted on. This had to be a device to close the entry gate so the sail could be dropped onto the boom where it belongs and be raised without the fear of the lugs popping out as you raise the sail. Does anyone know where I might get this thing? Hunter tells me that the company that built the mast is no longer in business. I could fashion one out of fiberglass or aluminum but it would be easier if I could find the original part.Phil.
