My sail-maintenance guy taught me a great trick with regard to the main (and Genoa track). He gave me a slide for the track which I tie to the main halyard and to a recovery line and then wrap with lint free cloth - tied in place. I then soak the lint free cloth with Mclube and run it up and down the track. Cleans and lubes the track. My main drops by itself - and can be jumped at the mast very easily!!
