Hi All,
I have an Ericson 35-3 I recently moved out of winter storage where the mast was unstepped and then stepped. I motored six hours to my summer Marina (winds weren’t favorable to sail) and found later when I tried to raise the main it would only go up less than halfway and stop. It is a double spreader mast and this happens just below the lower spreader. No exterior rigging is in the way and it is within the mast track somehow. I cannot see what is stopping it from the deck vantage point and wondered if anyone else has ever had this problem?
