Does your mast have a long crane extension.
It sounds like the halyard pull is not properly aligned with the track.

Windy,

I'm not sure Dog would agree with the alignment issue. You should probably ask him though. He's very helpful.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
