[quote=smfinley]Can you tell if the hook has been modified or moved ever? If it has that is probably where to start. If not, I typically have the halyard knot on the ring pointed away from the mast and the sail in a straight line with the mast. Have you tried raising the sail and then rotating the mast to try to get the hook under the ring, kind of the opposite action as taking down the sail? You shouldn't have to do that, but might be worth a shot. Also the grommet at the top of the sail hasn't been repaired has it?[/quote]
