The sail slug nearest the tack is different than the rest of them and appears to be adjustable. The luff at this point is further from the track than the other slug points. Anyone know why the difference and what happens when it's adjusted? Thanks.

Sounds like it's on a jack line Frank. It allows you to pull a reef down tight against the boom instead of having the bottom slug hanging up on the stopper. When the sail is up (no reef) and the luff is tight, the slug should be as tight as the others. If it isn't, take the slack out of the jack line. Frank Hopper has a good picture of this set-up on this thread: http://catalina-capri-25s.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10780

Some of us prefer mast gates over the screw-in stopper, which allow the sail slugs to slide all the way down to the boom. Then there's no need for the jack line. Others swear by the jack lines.
