So I put the 170 together in my yard.
Have some better idea on how things go together.
So got the sail on and was raising it. I put sailkote on the mast channel. This time the sail was smooth all the way up until about 6 to 8" from the top and then it was real hard. I never got it fully up. The video I took makes it appear that maybe the third slug down is getting caught up.
I took the mast off and slid the top slug up all the way and it is free traveling.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting? I am thinking I might have to put the sail on the mast supported by tables and see what it does. I did not have time and people to try that today.
