Depends on whether you want the slides/slugs to drop down past the opening or not. My cover fits much nicer when the mainsail drops down another 4-6 inches, so I have the gates on mine; I used to have the stop.
I attempted to make my own using a flooring carpet strip. It worked for a week or two but the material is too pliable. A lot depends on what your track opening looks like. I ended up going with the vastly over-priced MG-S2L from RigRIte: https://www.rigrite.com/Spars/MetalMast_Spars/MetalMast_Mainsail_Gates.php Bob > On 01/29/2021 8:06 PM Daniel via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > > I was looking for something like that.
