Its a sail slide.

Sometimes (depending on the track, or if it has little wheels its a car.

If it goes inside the track its a slug.

You can get them in the UK from here:-

Hey this is a great site. We should lijnk to it! :D :D

We used to use these on the sails of my father's X one design. I've got masses of them somewhere from his old sails. If not probably any boat yard or sailmaker that does XOD's although I suspect they've all gon plastic these days.
