When I go to unfurl the sail pulling on the mainsheet line (from back seat sailing solo), the sail pulls out a little and then seemingly gets stuck. If I try pull harder, I just end up torquing the mast. To further unfurl, I just end up pulling on the appropriate line of the mainsheet line attached to the edge of the sail. Ive had my Hobie dealer look at my TI, and as far as they can see, everything is fine except perhaps the actual rope. So, I've just replaced the rope and the issue is still there.

Any tips? Obviously the angle from the edge of the sail goes down to the back of the hull, so there is a force applied down and not necessarily straight out on the sail which would seemingly make it easier to unfurl the sail.

Furling is no problem by the way...
