Hi Dave,
It will be some time before I get my lazy jacks done and the mast put back in
the boat and rigged, but I'll share pictures then. You may enjoy watching a
video of splicing the amsteel using low friction rings.

Thanks to everyone for your great responses on Lazy Jacks and Stack Packs. I'm

the mast, a few metal rings for the sail support lines. When lowere

I had a Doyle stack pack installed on my LF39. With the center cockpit, and
full canvas there was no way to install a sail cover. The stack pack is rigged
so the zipper can be opened and closed from the mast. On my LF38 I made a
sailrite sail cover with lazyjack slots . If I had to do it again I
