Sailman series 35 Main slides

[Pete710]

Hi all, I anot sure if anyone can help? my old Jeanneau has recently called time on one of its main slides, it has cracked. I am not sure if I should replace all of them or just the broken one. It is a bainbridge sailman series 35 and screws into the sail batten fitting which is fine. Any advice very welcome.

Do any of the other slides look likely to crack in the near future? I assume this is for a full batten; how many battens are in the sail? How much does a slide cost and will you be doing the work yourself? If the slides are cheap and you can do the work yourself, it could be a no-brainer to replace them all for piece of mind
