Okay, sure... My sails are brand new, but the spinnaker is getting little holes in the foot. It seems that the retrieval line is making the holes whenever the sail is snuffed. The previous owner suggested I remove the casing from the line, but that doesn't feel right. Would coating the retrieval line with McLube help or something else other than mangling my line?

I can't say I'm used to *sailing* an F18, but I have rigged one a few times. I've only sailed an F18 once, and because of our weight, it was all my wife and I could do to keep the boat upright. I'm assuming that we will have an easier time of it with the F16, but I guess I wont know for sure until this weekend.
