Rob, I never found this an issue because the main is relatively small on the 41 and the deck is flat so its easy to get to. The only thing I did a few times a year was to spray the track and slides with some Harken lubricant and it was never a problem. Gavin |

I think we are close to arriving at that conclusion too. We had hoped for some magical solution that would allow us to drop the main whilst running in a raising gale. But plastic slides will do. |

Rob, I went through the same process and to help with main sail handling got the sailmaker to increase the length of the battens. This has made a noticeable difference in terms of stowing. John B |
