Are there a less expensive mast slides then the Tides Marine Slides?

Is there a less expensive mast slides then the Tides Marine Slides?

I thought there was something out there a lil less expensive.

I have a Westsail 28, so not a ton of sail, but need something that will go up easy with me in the cockpit.

Tides Marine is Strong Track - Tides is the company and Strong is the brand. Or is there another Strong company?

Are you looking for just the slides to fit an existing Tides Marine system, or for the complete system?

I've just removed battcars and tracks from my ketch to make way for roller furling and was planning to put them on Craigs List.
If you're interested pm me and let me know how much you need?
