I was looking at the Doyle Stack Pack information on their web site. It
indicates that an existing sail can be converted to a stack pack sail.

reinstallation). Also have an older UK Tape Drive main as well as an almost new

lost about 5 containers on an average Atlantic crossing. Interestingly, they
were not overtly alarmed about it. I think, fortunately, most

interesting that you removed the lazy jacks. I installed them on my boat. I had
them on my previous C&C 24 and I loved them. The new(er) boat came without them

Mike,
I can't see anything that sets the stack pack apart from any other sail
pack or any reason that the main would need modified. I looked and looked
at the Doyle website marketing (videos and text). The only thing which
seems to be "needed" is a loose footed mainsail. Even that might not be
I know that the Mack Pack can be done for either loose footed or attached foot
mains without modification to the sail. Mine (loose footed) has slugs that go
into the boom track. I think the other version straps under the boom. Dave

I've seen the pleated blinds and the aluminum rails they are mounted on in
an RV parts catalog. I wonder if they come in a standard size that might
fit, and if you can't buy them through an RV dealer/service provider in your

Nut Case our J27 also came with Lazy Jacks. The very first thing I did was cut
them off the mast before ever launching the boat for the first time. I do not

Having worked for a forklift company that made a lot of container handling
equipment, I can tell you what I recall.
5 lost containers per ship is probably not a bad guess at the average. Although
it is not 5 containers off every ship, it is more the case of 100 containers
off every 20th ship
The Doyle Stack Packs I’ve seen have all had the bottom edge of the sail sewn
into the bottom seam of the Stack Pack. And a set of sail slugs along the
bottom of the assembly are in the grove on the top of your boom. I can’t swear
from experience that this is true for all Doyle Stack Packs, just

What function do the zippers and added canvas provide? As stated before I
had my canvas guy at Quantum sail loft make mine. I've only had good
experiences.

Mike,
Sea Hawk came with lazy jacks and were subject to most of the problems you
noted. Sail flopping on the deck, sail cover a pain, generally not
working, etc.
When designing the new sail pack from Quantum, Clark Mckinney advised that
the original jacks did not extend up high enough (short of
Our experience with a stack pack is that it is painless except for these

Ken,
I would second that (“we really like it when short handed...”).
In order to deal with these problems, I installed the lazy jacks on the
spreaders (as opposed to the mast). This makes the slot wider and the sail does
not get easily caught in them. I had that problem on the previous boat, bu

Got a stack pack for an existing loose footed main from Chuck O'Malley at
Chesapeake Sailmakers in Annapolis. Works wonderfully. Drop and zip. Cake to

Fortunately the diameter of the old transducer is just shy of 2 in and the new

I frequently drill from both sides when using a hole saw when I want a clean
hole on each side. When you drill from one side you risk splintering on the
exit side. Sodo it!

Hi Dave,
I'm with you on this. I have an ancient breast drill, seldom used but
it's gotta be on the boat. Perhaps it's the only drill you can use underwater.
When it comes out for show & tell, I call it "my cordless drill".

On larger boats it is not as much of a problem because you have to head
into the wind anyway.
On my C&C 25 I can raise the main anywhere from beam reach on. So lazy
jacks create a inconvinience.
Now on a 25 you really don't need one, but I will install something to save
me the 3 minutes of packing
