My mainsheet is really stiff. I was just wondering if there are any ways of loosening it up. (it's not from saltwater).

Wash it with laundry detergent to get out old salts, rinse well, then soak in fabric softener. It'll make it pliable, soft on your hands & smell nice too!

Hey Shortstay ... didn't know you were such an expert at laundry.
