[Rhodes22-list] Main sticks being raised

[Jeff Kantor]

Sail-kote is great.  It helps sail slugs, boltrope, and works wonders on the pop top.  But I wonder if it is a repackaging of a generic Teflon dry film spray lubricant.

Greg,

I ve recently had similar issues.  I assume you have a standard main?
Mine got hung up by a careless mistake of a twisted halyard return.  I use
that common sail slide, boltrope lube in black spray can (forgot the name) 
I had to move my halyard end that goes to my rope clutch 
to the other side of the mast.   I had dropped the stick a few days before
launch to repair a windex and didnt get the rigging correct when I raised
it.
check halyards  for wear also.
lube sheeves at masthead when it comes down

Sometimes it just needs a shake when raising ie: loosen tension then give a
good hard pull to get any 
pockets out.

hope this helps
all the best
