Quick question for N20 owners.

The bottom of my main has been pulling out of the track. The bottom part where I feed it in to the mast and attach the downhaul. This has pulled out a couple of times recently. I'm wondering if other people are having this problem? I'm also trying to figure out some kind of fix for the problem. I have already given the main to a sail shop to beef up the bottom part of the luff rope. Hoping to add material so that it won't be prone to pull out. If I continue to have problems I'm considering stiching into the sail some of the plastic slugs so that it doesn't pull out.

I know some folks might think I'm running my outhaul too tight but that is not it. I have a stopper line so that I can't pull my outhaul past a certain point. I've had that same stopper line on there for years now.

It usually happens when I have a lot of mainsheet tension on without much downhaul.

Now it looks like the bottom part of my slot on my carbon mast is open a little furter than the top slot. I'm not sure if it was originally made this way or not?

Any help or thoughts is appreciated.
