I need to replace the slide that goes in the boom and attaches to the clew. Does anyone know the size?

It's shown on P25 of the Mk1.5 manual. Figure 4.1.4 Detail B. The clew slug is 1/2" diameter and 3 1/4" long. Height from the base of the slide to the top of the loop is 1 1/4".

Does anyone know where I may be able to source this slide. I have been trying some local stores in Annapolis and places on line without much results.

Fawcett's in Annapolis doesn't have it???????? That seems odd, pretty sure they're on the right side of the store as you come in, first isle and on the left side of the isle. But I'm just going off a pretty poor remembery. I do remember seeing sail slugs in their store :D
If not there then look into West Marine down by Herrington Harbor North in Deale, Md. They absolutely cater to sailors there and I've found their inventory to be better than other WM stores in the area.

I was in fawcetts yesterday, they have slugs for the mast. Nothing like the size I need. Not to pick on them but back in the day a trip to Fawcetts downtown was like Christmas but I don't feel the same about them now although still a nice store. Thank you for the recommendations.

I do miss Fawcett's location on Ego Alley, the staff was top notch and the selection deep!!!! They still carry a good depth of product but it's nothing like it once was, I would have thought of them right off the bat. Sailrite was also mentioned but I just hate paying their freight rates, it's always high....but then you can find just about anything there too.
Always a trade off... :D
