I recently took my freedom 21 out and couldn’t get the
main sail to go all the way up. This was not pretty.
Anyways, does anybody have any suggestions as to how I
can lube the track, and is this a common thing?

Phil,
Although I have not used it yet, I have seen many
postings which said
they used Spartite to form a collar.
The spacer you need is a rubber thing which keeps
the mast from
banging against the hole. I can take a digital
picture if you like
and
put a ruler next to it. I don’t have a clue where
to tell you to go
buy one.
I have recently purchase a Freedom 21. Can some
tell me what
type
of
spacer or sleeve I’m to use between the free
standing CF mast and
the
mast tube? I seem to be missing that item!

I am thinking about changing the reefing lines to 1/4". What do you think. I did change the reefing blocks at the mast end of the boom because some of them had frozen.

Bill,
It is your choice, ¼" will work. However, my choice is that I would
stay with 5/16" since its more line diameter to get a hold of, the
weight reduction aloft would be insignificant by going to ¼" and the
5/16" lines will run fine.
