captmikem is on a distinguished road
I agree, the problem is most likely no roach, to tight of a leech line. An easy indicator is to put tell tales about every 10 feet up the leech of the main. big ones, easy to see. When they are flowing aft, you have proper flow over the main, easy to see and easy to adjust. I also agree most people under sheet their headsails and over sheet their mains. Tell tails on the luff of the jib and on the leech of the main are very simple very easy indicators and educators.
