Mast Gate and Slugs, sliders and rollers issue

[mickydrew]

Hi all

I have a Mk1 9m with a Kemp Mast

My issue is my mainsail was replaced a couple pf years back with an ARUN mainsail.

This has not only white plastic 'slugs' attached to the sail but also black 4 port rollers at each full batten.

These rollers are getting jammed on the mast gate.

Has anyone else come across this issue?

I am waiting on Kemp (now Selden Kemp) support to assist, possibly with a replacement gate.

Or i may have to have a custom gate made to accomodate these rollers.

Any pictures please? And, what is a mast 'gate'?

Sorry for the long delay - i have had new batten cars sourced to replace the original poor ones
