I have Lewmar ST 40 s on my boat. The jib sheets are big and
fuzzy ( 1/2'' IIRC ) soft to the touch, but they 'hang up'
on the stays in light air. I bought some smaller line (
Stayset 3/8 IIRC ) . It sorta works with the self tailing,
but slips half the time, or comes out of the ST part
completely. Someone suggested the new line is too slippery
and maybe it will wear in. Is there anything I can do to the
winch to remedy this situation?

You make it sound so easy.
