My genoa is sticky in the foil and is hard to raise, what is the best solution-it has the correct size bolt rope.

It may be very salty - tried washing the sail?

TRy washing the bolt rope and then apply some silicone furniture polish, works for me.

Candlewax! Seen it done, works a treat and lasts for yonks...
Rub into the bolt and run the sail up the foil a couple of times, applying abit more if you think you need it. I have been told that it doesn't harm the dacron.

Silicon spray - buy dashboard cleaner from halfords, it's cheaper and works a treat.

Personally -= I'd avoid anything waxy as it is prone to picking up rubbish, and evntually staing as well as binding. Id go for one of the 'dry' silicone sprays (I usually use either the Harken or Lewmar - no difference that I can see). It transforms the way things move, and is worth every penny.
