I would advise against using the lazy jacks for supporting the boom. A topping lift or a rigid vang is much better for that. You have to put together enough vertical lines, so that the sail will not droop between them. This depends on the sail cloth, battens and obviously, the length of the

Re: Stus-List Stuffing box restuffing
