I have 4 or 5 slugs that go into the track on top of the boom, and the cover is shackled to, my lazy jacks also go thru slugs on top of the boom, and when racing get pulled forward to the gooseneck reefing horns. I had straps that open put on so the lazy jacks are independent of the sail cover. The lazy jacks go thru eye bolts that replaced the pins at the first spreaders so are a bit more open than if attached to the mast. At the back of the boom there is an inverted bail that holds the back of the cover up.

I stand corrected! How does that work? Isn't it sewn to the foot of the sail?

I can remove the cover if I want for racing, or roll it and strap it to the boom. For cruising I just leave it setup.

All the canvass shops will make you one and call it something a little different. Keep in mind you can't have a loose footed sail and it becomes part of your sail. I asked about these when I was shopping for new sails and decided against it. I figured a lazy jack system and a regular sailcover was best for me. I guess I wanted them to be separate. I only met one guy that had one and he raved about it. However, he was hoping I would buy his boat at the time.

I have seen them on several sailboats old and new this season and I'm told by one owner that your main sail is sewn into the bottom of this bag and when you drop it the sail falls into the bag and when it's closed it looks like an ordinary sail cover. � Replaces the lazy jacks for sure and it looks great! � I would really like to investigate for Mistral but I forgot to ask what it is actually called. � If anyone knows....it would be the 'list guys'! � Love all the chat back and forth and all the info! � Many thanks! � Liz Mistral V C&C 35-1 Harbour West Marina � _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
