Slugs increase the distance from the center of the mast track to the edge of the leech, so sails cut to the maximum allowance with a bolt rope may not measure-in for class events when slugs are added. I believe a ruling was made at the 2002 NA's allowing for slugs, but it's worth confirming this if you're doing class racing.
