[C320-list] Sail slides

[Barry Fahrer]

I went with the Strong Track system two years ago, on the advice of my 
sailmaker who assured me that for the extra $1k my new sail would fly up the 
mast.  It's possible that the new sail is that much heavier than the stock 
Catalina, or I have become that much weaker as the years have rolled on, but 
I have a hard time with the last 2-3 feet of sail hoist.  This year if it 
ever stops raining and gets above 45F, I'm going to try the Milwaukee 
cordless right angle drill to raise the sail and haul in the jib.
