[quote=MN3]i would clean (as mentioned above)
lube (ditto) and use a wooden wedge to "calibrate" the track.
i.e. - take a wedge (think door stop) and place it into the track. Draw a line on that wedge and walk it up and down the entire lenght of the track. you will be able to see if the track is pinched somewhere (can happen from lowering the mast to hard into the yoke, tying down the mast to the yoke too hard, or a pot hole in the road slamming the mast track onto the yoke - or if you have ever demasted and it hit on the track area)...
if it is pinched.. use the wooden wedge to spread the track slightly (this will require a mallet or similar.
that being said - it's more likely a swollen bolt rope on an older sail. get it replaced for under $200 at a loft[/quote]
