My main had a terrible shape and the boat sat for 7 years what U found was sails sitting cabin for 7 years in the northeast where temp went from highs in high 90's and lows below zero.
Luff rope in the main had shrank almost 9" from spec. and after the snow is gone I am going to stretch between 2 trees to try to get luff back to proper length.

Thank you banshi. I was thinking without mast I could wet it stretch it and let gravity help and wet it again repeating as needed. I have done this one other time on my Newport Holiday which had a boltrope on the luff and foot. Also I see you have your boat on each post how do I do that?
