Jeff, Forgive me for being dense, but with a track stop, the slugs stay on one side or the other. More likely the top. I guess you can open it up and let them slide down the extra distance once the sail is down, but that seems less efficient. At least the way my mast is built, all the slugs would be above the stop. That makes it a big "bump" at the head of the boom. If there is a slot built across the hole, then all the slugs slide to the very bottom of the mast, nearly flat to the boom, making a lower profile. (and I can get the main under my current cover and don't have to buy one with a "bump" at the front to accomodate the extra height (about 1 foot or 15"). That is why I am asking. Steve |
