I have code red 06. the cams do not rotate. I have a new powerex 100% 460. I loosened the batten. the sail looks good. and loose in the top three panels. I heard about spacers. How do they work? I can't see how spacers can help cams rotate.

try another mast or the cams are tight on the mast , cams arent meant to be a tight fit , you will find theres pressure on the rollers but the outside tips of the cam isnt touching the mast only when rotating

Not Code reds, but when I got my set off NS Warp F2010's, every sail from 5.2 upto 9m had real stuborn cam rotation.It was a bloody nightmare, and at the time I wished I had keep't my old F2009's as they had perfect rotation and needed no cam tuning at all. After spending a whole day tuning all 6 sails, they finally worked fine. For me the trick was to adjust one batten at at time. I started with minimum tension and added tension slowly. Also added a spacer on the two bottom cams. Before buying a new mast, send a windless afternoon playing with your batten tensions, it'll take a while, but there is a pretty good chance that you will improve the rotation:)
