mast slot cover

Jeff H. Pretty much summed it up. But I like having the "slot covers" rather than a simple screw-in gate blocker. Like he said, it allows the bottom of the sail to come all the way down to the boom. This can make a big difference on some boats, especially when reefing the main.

Here are some pictures I took of the slot covers I made for my boat. They work great.

I purchased the aluminum material from Home Depot. It was part of a "door threshold"
