Yes........ Agree..... Small knot, small line to fit sheave (not too small) and good sheaves! I even went so far as to do away with the knot all together and use some tiny hog rings. When using hog ring pliers and the right size ring you can get the combined rope to about the same diameter as the single line. I only put 3 on there. No problems anymore after 2 years.

I have had all of the afformentioned problems as well. To the point where I was always flipping my boat over on the beach to take down the sail. Major pain in the butt if you sail a lot.

I cant agree with lubing the track. Maybe a little. But dont over do it or you may find yourself lowering your sail out on the water if you flip it over and the bolt rope pulls out of the track while you are in the water.

Good luck!!
