[quote=MN3]it shouldnt be that hard. i would check:
battens aren't over tight
mast track is cleaned and lubed
there are no pinches in the mast track
the bolt rope hasn't swollen up
the halyard is as thin as possible
the cheave inside the halyard block is in good shape. at the top at the mast and if there is one on the bottom as well[/quote]
