Sail \'slugs\'

I am looking to convert my 'hanked on' genoa so it fits my new plastimo roller reefing system. I have searched online for 5mm slugs, but have had no joy.

Anybody know where I could find these slugs?

is the foil long enough or will you need the sail shortened?

Unfortunately not, I opted for the twin groove reefing system - these have a gap of only 5mm per sail.

Anyways, its all sorted now - I have a local sailmaker fiiting a new luff tape with 5mm bolt rope to my genoa. Only problem is, it can't be done until mid next week! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif All of the sailmakers I called said the same thing, obviously they all have plenty of work at this time of year.
