I just installed the Clew Sleeve and tried it out at the Beer Can Races last night. I liked being able to quickly attach and disconnect the sail, but I could not get the sleeve to tighten the sail while out on the lake. It would slide to allow more depth in the sail, but no matter how hard I pulled I could not get it to stretch the sail out again. It was fairly light wind, so it was not wind resistance. Back at the clubhouse someone said my sheet was not slick enough and it was creating too much resistance at the fairlead on the end of the boom.
Is the problem the line or do I need a block at the fairlead as well?
