High-quality 3D Model of Nylon Internal Flat Slide If you're looking for an easy way to raise and lower your mainsail, installing sail slugs or slides can make a big difference. These small but powerful components allow the sail to glide smoothly inside the track and stack on the boom in the mast slot. This prevents the sail from catching wind and coming out of the bottom of the mast slot, reducing wear and tear on the sail. This selection includes external sail slides, internal sail slides, and slugs that can help you get the job done. Slugs are small barrels, often made of nylon that secure ahead of the boltrope and then insert into a slot on the mast instead of the rope. Slides feature a T-shaped design to allow easy installation in a mast slot, while external slides attach to a track on the outside of the mast. One thing to note is that if you need to replace parts but can't find a proper match, you'll have to replace all components. Your sail won't function properly if hardware has a different amount of space between it and the sail. Choosing the right slug and slide comes down to sizing and personal preference. Sizing primarily aims to ensure that your slugs and slides fit the mainsail slot on your boat perfectly. Once you've determined the appropriate sizing, you can choose styles that help maximize sail performance. For example, if your sail has full battens, you'll want to choose a style that distributes batten pressure evenly.
