The gate I made from aluminum flooring edging for our 29-2 is the one on the Photoalbum. It worked well. http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/sailgate/sailgate.htm The previous sail gate I made for my Shark was laminated in place from carbon fiber and epoxy (in a plastic bag) then trimmed to fit. It also worked well The current sail gate on Shift is a thick stainless weldment that doesn't fit very well and hangs the sail slugs up occasionally. I plan to make a new one *someday*.
