That would be me. Just hand sewed a bunch if new sail slugs onto the main. The slugs are on nylon webbing that is sewn on. I started last season with one broken slug and ended it with four! Great how to video on sailrite. com.

no

I checked them all, did a little restitching and called it done. Usually slugs with clips wear at the shank, but these really all on nylon strapping. The broke at the base. l should propbably replace them all, but will have a loft work on it next fall.
