My lazy jacks are mounted 1/2 way along the spreaders - works real well. I have a small block up there running down to cleats either side of the mast. So I can hook them under the rams horns once the sail ties are on.

I agree the jacks are meant to help with striking sail. But I've found that,
especially singlehanded, once the sail ties are off the mail spills all over
the deck prior to actual hoist without the jacks deployed. But I'm new to all
this sailing stuff so feel free to coach me as to what I'm doing
Rick,
Try removing the forward tie, hoisting part way, removing the next tie
etc. or leaving the jacks up while hoisting. If you are headed into
the wind the jacks are not a big deal.
