Re: Slugs on main sail

[jimmy.harrell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dave,
I added slugs to my main.  Greatly reduced the time and effort of raising 
and lowering the sail, especially if you are single handing.  It was easy 
and cheap and improved enjoyment of the boat tremendously.  I also routed 
the halyard to the cockpit.

I bought the slugs and screw-on type shackles from Defender.  If I remember 
correctly, I spaced the slugs a little less than 20 inches apart.  If you 
want me to I can check to see exactly how far apart they are.
