I carefully measured every side and the new mainsail looks beautiful. I
put new sliders on too. Trouble is, it hangs about 12" from the top of
the mast. My old one doesn't.

Even tho I have a bosuns chair I haven't gone up to investigate.

Any thoughts before I'm forced to go up there?

If you haul it to the top and then set the downhaul, does it look ok? More
deck clearance.


Can you read? He said it lacks a foot from going all the way to the top. It
hangs on something. I'm thinking it's an external track with a screw head
(backed out) that's not allowing the new sliders to pass.
