Judy, on my boat the previous owner had closed the factory slot and opened a
new one six inches lower. With my main pulled to the top of the mast, the
boom gooseneck sits two inches above the slot. Thus, when I lower the sail,
it flakes nicely and does not come out of the slot. I do have to use a
stopper right under the gooseneck, however.
