[C320-list] In-Mast Mainsail

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

 I have a 2008 with the Seldon system. Although I can get it all the way up by hand, the last 1/3 of the way, it's a bear. I'll rig it so I can use a winch the next time I drop the main.

I have a 2002 Charleston Spar in-mast furling mainsail. I use Sail-Kote to lube 
it before feeding it into the slot.  I find it impossible to raise it completely 
without using the winch the last third up the mast. Do others have the same 
experience or are you able to raise it entirely by hand? 

I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
