Hello fellow Potterites,

I was just ready to order my sail slugs when my gut reaction took over
and said "leave it alone" for better or worse, this is what I decided. There
was some discussion a while back about how to make the luff rope slide
easier in the mast slot. My sail becomes very hard to hoist when it gets
towards the top of the mast. The mast does not seem to be bent. I am going
to replace the pulley but would also like to do what I can to make hoisting
the sail as easy as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
