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.
