I have just bought a full batten main from FX Sails, but the sail slides they
provided on the ends of the four full battens can't pass through the mast gate.
I have a standard rig, sail#821, with an extruded slot in the mast. The sail
slides are 5/8" and the other slides pass the gate with no difficulty, but
there are different slides on the ends of the full battens, which are prevented
from passing through the gate because they have a foot surface outside the slot
as well as inside (the others have only the attaching loop protruding from the
slot).
Has anyone else run into this situation? Thanks. Gary
