[C320-list] Mainsail track

[Barry Fahrer]

My UK guy in City Island, NY, who I really like and trust advised me to get 
the Tides system, however the new main sail is much heavier than the 
original Catalina sail and therefore that much harder to raise.  I purchased 
the Milwaukee 28v right angle drill and it makes hoisting the main a breeze. 
The admiral also uses it to trim the jib sheets.
