I have used retractable lazy jacks on Calypso for the last 10 years. The upper block is mounted on the mast just below the lower spreader. Calypso's main sail has full battens and Harken Batt Cars.
After having several hoists end up with the head board or battens fouled up in the lazy jack lines I now only use the lazy jacks while dropping the sail. My main goal for the lazy jacks was to hold / control the sail on top of the boom (especially when sailing single / double handed) during the douse. The Harken Batt Cars keeps the luff attached to the mast.

I was thing of going just above the spreaders but have no experience with them. I want to do it right the first time. Thanks for the in-put. I have looked at and read a lot of others and their positions on how. Thanks again for the help.
