Welcome to the forum. I suggest you take on off the sail and visit your local sailmaker, if too much of a struggle, take the whole sail. There are umpteen different sail slides.

Take a broken one to nearest sail loft or chandlers ......... they will supply new out of the bins ......... You will have choice of "sewn on with webbing" or with a screw that passes through - of course there are the horrible one time snap together type !! as well.

They are a simple matter to replace ... no need to take sail to anyone. Just take the "slug" so he has correct size for mast channel.

Are they this sort?

If so, I have a bag of them (at least twenty) that I "inherited" and you're welcome to have them in consideration of a small donation to the RNLI.

Richard check the size first and let me know how many you need as I've had a PM from another forumite who's interested. If you find they are wrong size or I've more than you need then I'll send him the remainder.

I've made a note of your address if you want to edit it out of your message.

Richard I'm sorry - mine are too large! They are 36mm by 21mm wide by 5mm thick. Stupid of me, I should have given you the size earlier. (David, looks like you're in luck - will PM you).
