Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?
I don't know why you need a pre-feeder. Pre-feeders are only needed if you don't have slugs or slides on the luff. Once the main is up, you just need something to close the entry slot. Then when you drop the main, it stays in the track. Am I missing something? I, too, use the Tides Marine Strong Track. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?
I think the feeders are formations with bolt rope. We had on our last boat. This boat uses slugs and the stay in slot when sail is down. You have me thinking though ...

Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?
Dennis, those pre-feeders aren’t for slugs, they are for boltropes. I put one on the Viking 22 that I had, the main didn’t have slugs or slides, just the boltrope that fed into the slot on the mast.

Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?
Not what you asked about, but if you end up doing an upgrade, I suggest Tides Marine Sailtrack System. https://www.tidesmarine.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=363 I installed this system on my 34 almost two decades ago and it worked great. I now have it on my 42, and I can hoist the main nearly to the top without a winch. It’s a great system.
