The Tides Marine Strong Track was a great upgrade. When I release the
halyard, the main comes down as if it is not even attached to the mast.
I would recommend ordering direct from the maker, though, as that way
you get tech support from the people that have seen it all, and know
what to do. I don't think you save any money or time by going through a
middleman.

I’ve been having issues with my mainsail. It seems the slides are
bucking in the mast track.
Part of it is due to warn track, and part due to new(second
hand)main sail having full battens. I ended up ripping the luff
cord trying to bring the main down in a blow last year, and the
patch job gave way on my first sail this year.
My slides are round barrel slug attached to grommets on the luff
via stainless shackles. Jiffy reefing makes things worse and so
does the fact that I never converted the masthead pulley after
changing wire rope to 3/8” halyard.
Has anyone improved their mainsail track using something like this
