Disconnect your mast rotator control line first, so you can rotate your mast at least 90 degrees or more, and if you can, park the boat with the bows slightly (30 degrees maybe) off the wind. Pull the halyard up, then rotate the mast th other way for maximum angle between sail head and mast. Then hold the rotator there, release halyard, pull down on the tack with the other hand. That usually works for me. Oh, I forgot to mention, you did spray the entire track and bolt rope with some type of dry silicon lube before you put it up, right? That always helps.
