When I try to raise my mainsail, the slug at the head binds in the track about 12inches below the masthead, preventing the sail from being fully raised. I've tried jerking the main halyard, putting all my weight on it, lubing the track, nothing seems to work. Any ideas? I'd hate to force it up,and then not be able to lower the mainsail.
Caveats:
The sail is old, and could probably be recut.
The slugs are 1/2". I have one at the head of the sail. I read somewhere that adding a second slug just below the topmost one would help.
