I don't think this was answered. I have a lazy jack system that I built myself similar to what is on the photo album website. It's only 3 legged and if I was to do it again I would make if 4 legged. My horn cleats are on the mast in line with the boom with the blocks above the spreaders. Stowing and deploying are similar to described on the website. I used 3/16 and nylon thimbles in the eye's. The issue with lazy jacks versus a stack pack would likely be spilling of the sail. I don't think with the pack it can fall out. I get this with only 3 legs when windy and choppy and single handed with the boat rocking and rolling and not quite head to wind.
It is still way better than no jacks or pack at all. One of the first things I added.

Do you mean the lazy jacks are not as good as having a stackpack type arrangement? Thanks Richard S/V Bushmark4; 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 596 Richard N.
