Re: Track stop on Pocketship mainsail

Regarding adjustable sail stops, I agree with everyone else - some type of sail stop is a great thing to have, whether a traditional slider or block of wood as shown by Pete.
I had some fun with them over the summer and designed my own. However, to make just a few, they can still be expensive. Just buying a basic thumbscrew alone (in quality stainless steel) can run you as much as $10-15. Same with the sliders, though once the CNC mill is set up you might as well make a bunch. So now I have a bunch of them, and can only figure on dropping so many overboard. To recoup my costs and give everyone else an easy and affordable option, I am selling them for $9 each.
