I don't want to make something that may be available, can anyone tell me where I can purchase a gate for my sail track? Removing and replacing the track stop and sail slides when I reef is time consuming.{Cat30 w/.75" slides} Thank you

Slugs vs. Slides
The mastgates that Catalina Direct sells are for sails that use slugs that go into a round slot in the backside of the mast as on the Catalina 22 and Catalina 25. Scott's boat is a Catalina 30 which uses slides that are attached to a track on the outside of the mast. Hence, the Catalina Direct mastgates are useless to him. Nevertheless, Scott should make a mainsail jack line for the bottom slides. I am sure he can information about this on one of the various Catalina 30 sites.
