Can't raise my sail

I had real trouble raising (and lowering) my sail this weekend... not sure why??? any ideas???

Get some Viagra, that will straighten your mast and get your sail up!

What's at the top of your mast?

If you can't get it down you may want to contact a doctor

If it stays up for more than 4 hours...

1) Check the track for any deformation.
2) Lube the luff rope with Sailcoat.
3) Check the halyard sheave.

Scott,

Has it been "up" for longer then 4 hours ??????

When was the last time you washed out the mast's luff track and washed the sail's boltrope??? And lubed the lufftrack and the sail's boltrope w/ "SailKote"???

I find I have to this to my mast and sails several times a season .... especially if the boat is at a oceanfront event for several days w/ blowing sand.

Harry

Thanks all!

(PS i was kidding... if you look at the pic... you can see the mast in that image is all out of whack)

I got it the first time...

still... see a doctor (or a person of ill-repute)

And what are you feeding your camera, was it drunk when it took that picture?

No... the camera was sober.... but the operator ... that may be in question

What's it rate?

that's a 0.95 DPN modifier for that rig isn't it??
