[C320-list] Mainsail hard to raise

[Robert Seastream]

All:

Has anyone ever had issues raising their (in mast furling) mainsail  
past roughly the two thirds point, almost requiring winching to raise  
it fully?
We've had this issue since we bought the (used) boat.  I don't think  
there's any 'burrs' in the furler track; I'd expect rips in the luff  
if that were true.
I'm wondering if the roller furler might have gotten bent, although I  
can't imagine how.  By comparison, the roller furling jib goes up its'  
own track smooth as silk.
Another question is how does one access the furling mechanism for  
inspection/repair, once the mast is unstepped?  Perhaps that's a  
question for Charleston Spars.

Regards,
