Re: How to prevent sail from sliding out when lowering?

I made a slug gate...
... first from aluminum and then later out of steel that I had powder coated. The aluminum one worked well but I worried about it bending so made the steel one and have used it a lot with very good luck. You don't need screws or anything to hold it in place as it slides down into the track by the gooseneck.
