I have had a hard time and sometimes unable to raise my main sail past the comptip/mast seam. The sail gets stuck and it is very hard to take down. I had the main sail repaired and it's brand new.
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Thanks

I have encountered this. Have you cut the track on the comptip in a v at the junction. The track will bend in and hang on the luff rope.

Thanks for the tip. I have not cut the comptip in a V. I will do that.
