Custom designed Mast gate using Stainless-316 or 3D printed Nylon

All MastGates are made by me in the USA.  Custom built using your measurements and photos.


As a general rule, all MastGates made for feed slots cut 5" or shorter list for $100. 


Choose your preference between Nylon or Stainless steel 316. 


Types of the MastGates I design:

 (dependent on cross section of mast):

A. External Fixed, Stainless-316 

B. External Hinged ,Stainless-316 

C. Internal self closing,

In order for me to evaluate the geometry shape of the mast and luff channel, I need you to provide photos of your measurements, looking from left, center, right on a horizontal plane and  a sweeping angled views looking inside the well lit channel to see the side wall cuts to determine if the channel is oblong or round & if the feed slot Width was cut to the diameter of the inside channel.

This internally Self-Closing gateway flexes inward for adding or removing sail slugs.  Best for one-handed sailors.

Built for Cross Section Profiles A & B that  have Track Depths of 3/4" or more.  

I use this on my Potter 19 for single-handed sailing.

The two side button caps are hiding the shock cord knots.  (1/8th inch holes)

Single & Dual  Tethered, Hinged gates work on all mast profiles.  Tethered in place with a shock cord (knot in middle prevents droping if one end brakes).  Gate plate flips open when back side is pushed aftward.  Holes are for a removable nylon rivet to keep the plate fixed in place for all season use.

3/16" Hole in plate is provided for a removable nylon rivet for long term mounting.


Single & Dual  NON-Tethered gates work on all mast profiles. 


3/16" Hole in plate is provided for a removable nylon rivet for long term mounting.  Pull center pin up to remove rivet.

The QuickRelease TrackStop (QRTS) can exert over hundered pounds of force using a cam levered handel.  

I use it under my Potter 19's sliding boom to set a drop limit and to lock the boom above my head to create a tall boom tent over the cockpit.  

Weighs 38 grams, less than the hard-to-grip knob style track stop.
