What slot gasket do most people prefer? My old boat has sailcloth but I am tempted to replace with mylar.... Will I regret the change? - my board is quite a tight fit but there is a small recess in the case about the width of the gasket. Cheers, Dave

Stick with sailcloth it's much kinder to the board. I have seen sailcloth gaskets with a mylar insert but not for a long time now.
I don't think i've ever seen a merino with a hawk strip gasket which is what i assume you were thinking of fitting

Literally any sailmaker will do you a slot gasket. Some have a mylar insert to make them stiffer, some are superglued rather than sewn. It doesn't seem to make much difference!

Have eyelets fitted to one end, screw the other end down, pull on the eyelet with sheeting, screw or glue down. Don't glue right up to the slot, leave a small gap.

One of the advantages of being out here in the wilderness is that we have absolutely no 'conventional wisdom',- so do our own thing. The slot gasket(s) on 1620 is a rubber section intended to protect you from the north winds blowing under your door. Works fine, and never replaced in over 20 years; closes the gap, and seals wonderfully around the foil.
