[C320-list] Mast: cover for sail slugs opening

[P.F. Ross]

When I lost one of my sail gate plastic head thumbscrews, I replaced them
both with stainless button head socket cap screws.  This presents a nice
smooth surface for the sail to slide over when raising or dropping.  Just
be careful not to over tighten and use Tef Gel or similar on the threads.
