I can't get my main to the top without a winch either, unless there's
minimal wind.

External halyards and good slide/track mechanism makes most of that go

Had a 30ft Seafarer with a high aspect sail plan (small main, only 10 ft
boom) and external halyards.

Never had a problem with the main.

I have an in-mast halyard. I need to improve the slide/track situation.
