My TI is about 1 year old. The last 3-4 months, I've found it harder to unfurl the sail when pulling on the mainsheet line. 95% of the time, I'm sailing solo from the back seat, and when I go to unfurl the sail, the mast spins a little, but then gets stuck and my pulling on the line just torques the mast. I then have to pull on the line coming from the sail to keep the process going. Is this a known problem? I took it to my Hobie dealer who checked out everything and it all looked fine except the mainsheet rope was starting to fray, so I replaced the rope and the problem still exists. The angle of the line from the sail to the back of the hull of the TI is obviously angled down, and so the pull on the sail isn't straight out or perpendicular to the hull, which would provide the best pull on the sail to open up.
Anyway...thanks for any input or help.
