Do you have battcars or any kind of sailtrack system on your main track? If the main comes down easily, it should pretty much flake itself, and all you should need to do is pull back some on the aft end of the sail to tighten it up. It's also possible that the previous owner didn't flake the sail well, so it has no "memory", to flake out properly when you lower it. Is the sailcover an integrated one, like the StackPack? If so, have you tried putting a tail on the zipper to pull it with?
