I considered getting rid of my topping lift since, like many others, I take the halyard to the aft end of the boom when not sailing. The problem I was not able to solve was how to hoist the aft end of the sail pack without the topper, so I kept it. Now I keep it loose enough to allow for good leach tension when fully hoisted and pretty much leave it there. This is also just shy of the hardtop dodger. The sailpack is lashed off to the topper such it stands up in this condition.
When the halyard is made of the boom mainsheet is eased out, the topper goes limp, the sailpack sags, and the boom is well clear of the dodger.
