Lazy Jack






I installed the Lazy jack system on ESTANCIA last month, but it wasn't untyl last Saturday when I used it for the first time. Why I didn't install them before, I have no idea!!!!


The easy handling of the mainsail is amazing. I made them at a fraction of an "off the shelf" kit.


It's a three leg system that goes up the mast to a couple of blocks installed on the lower spreaders and down to cleats on the mast base. This way, I can retract them when sailing, or when installing the sail cover.
