Rick, I looked again a the diagram of their "External fixed MastGate, and it looks almost identical to what I made. If it is not too expensive, it is something to consider seriously. I don't know about the hinged model, but I'm not sure it is worth the presumed extra cost unless you drop your mast or remove the boom and sails every day.

I'm thinking of installing a pair of external gates from Mastgates.com on my mast, which has a double-sided slot. Anyone out there have experience with these? Seems as if they'd be a big help in reefing underway. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
