For the first time I attempted to change my Mainsail to a new footless Main. To my surprise, the channel in the mast for the nylon cars did NOT have a slot too remove them. I then noticed that the Cars have a snap removal capability and that is fine except the top Car is actually sewn onto a canvas strap. The apparent result is I cannot remove the sail? Anyone have any ideas on this.... Thanks Dan Wampler

Slot is behind the "Hank Stop" adjustment...

Check the "hank stop" that is riveted to the back side of mast and just above the boom . On first glance it looks like an adjustable stop with limits as to its movement, however if you remove the set screw, the plastic slide drops down exposing the Slot for removing the sail. Windswept
