Mike, Really??? How do you shape your sail without using your main sheet?  

My sheet releases fine in a blow, but in light wind I have to pull the last two 
lines out between the blocks then the main will drift out. I always thought it 
was too much friction, a small price to pay for the power of the purchase. (Ha 
ha, I'm such a punster!) My line is pretty thick too, but easy on the hands.

I have an 86. Same problem. Hardly ever use the main sheet. Poor design and too 
much friction. Start using your traveler and you will be happy. The only time I 
use my main sheet is to get it all the way out there in down wind situations.

Its your best and truly only solution.
