Hi,
On mine I have the square slugs, very easy to replace, the replacement nylon
shackle has a small self-tapping screw, with some others you can use "whipping
twine" ( is that the good word? ), waxed, ideally. About 10 loops and then
finish with a few loops to tighten the joint between the slug and main.
Tie-wraps don't stand very well with UV ( black ones are better but ugly on a
sail)

Subject: Stus-List Broken Main Sail Slugs
On our recent sailing trip two of the plastic/nylon slugs broke and need to
be replaced.
I would appreciate comments from others on the possibility of doing this
ones self.
The slugs are wrapped through their slots with a piece of webbing material
which is stitched to the sail and is also melted or 'welded' to itself to
attach slug to sail luff.
The sail is older but still has good shape (kevlar). I am reluctant to keep
spending money on an old sail but it is worth repairing if there is a good
DIY solution for a non-sailmaker. I have watched some Youtube video on this
but would appreciate comments from the list group.
Thanks,
