<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jeff</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>by mast gate I assume you mean a device that will
allow you to raise a main that has slugs instead of a rope, and to allow the
slugs to be gated to the mast when the sail is down. I had the exact
problem and did the following.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- bought some angle aluminum. I got it at
Home Depot about 1" square</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- cut to 2 8 " long pieces</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- drilled 3 sideways elongated holes through one
side of each piece</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- drilled and tapped 3 holes onto both sides of the
mast in position to accept a screw going through the alumimun</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- when I wanted to use my main with slugs, I found
loosen the screws, put the sail on, then slide the plates to close the opening
and tighten the screws</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I no longer own the boat but new owner wants some
help stepping the mast today or tomorrow, I can take a picture if you
want</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,
<DIV>I am a Capri25 owner on Lake Lanier, Georgia. Hope this crowd can
help me with finding a part for my boat. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I would like to install a mast gate for my Capri, but no luck in finding
one. Calling Catalina Direct turned up nothing. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>any ideas?</DIV>
