Re: Stus-List Short handed sailing; sail selection - now lazy jacks

Speaking as one who has used in boom furling a lot, my advice is don't do it! It's finicky in that it requires the boom to be at exactly the right angle to the mast when you're furling, and you have to be pretty close to head to wind to reef or drop the sail. Many times with either a bat-car or

Re: Stus-List Short handed sailing; sail selection - now lazy jacks

Worked a lot on shorthanded sailing last season. Another vote for lazy jacks. Mine use a rolling hitch at the mast - I have to go forward to slide the hitch(es) up and down to loosen/tighten. The 33-2 is small enough that I can stand on the bridgedeck and fake the sail into the lazyjacks by

Re: Stus-List Sail Flaking

I would second support for the Dutchman system, it worked very well on my boat, apart from maybe the finicky mainsail cover (the same as lazy jacks if you don't move them before you cover the sail). We have just changed over to lazy jacks and a stack pack sail cover because it wouldn't have

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Short handed sailing; sail selection

I have the lazy jack system (Sail Cradle) from Sailcare.com. It is a little different from standard lazy jacks and after using it for many years, I like the way it works, and appreciate the different approach. I made one minor modification. I added cheek blocks (sailcare has a line of iIalian

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Short handed sailing; sail selection

What I said was that there are no mods to the sail cover needed. Some systems require the sail cover to have slots cut in it, and the Dutchman system requires mods to the sail itself. :-) Bill Bina On 12/3/2016 3:27 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote: Bill, Why isn't a sail cover needed?

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Short handed sailing; sail selection

I don't think this was answered. I have a lazy jack system that I built myself similar to what is on the photo album website. It's only 3 legged and if I was to do it again I would make if 4 legged. My horn cleats are on the mast in line with the boom with the blocks above the spreaders. Stowing

Re: Stus-List Fwd: Short handed sailing; sail selection

My boat came with lazy jacks and they worked... Sorta. As others have mentioned, the attachment to the mast was foo narrow. As it turns out it was also too low. Since the boom is so high it was extremely difficult to put the sail cover on and monkeying with it around the jacks was annoying.

Stus-List 25 for sail - almost free.

Saw this this morning. Bargains often are not, however here's a low price for a 25 - Canadian $. No knowledge of boat. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sailboat/oakville-halton-region/c-and-c-25-1-000-first-person-647-973-1466/1220630583?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Dave. Sent from my

Re: Stus-List Short handed sailing; sail selection - now lazy jacks

Two years ago I had Chesapeake Sailmakers make a stack pack for Pegathy. The actual admiral (Pegathy's her college nickname) is less than 5'. That's all she'll admit to. So it's difficult for her to help flake a main that's sliding all over the cabin top, much less help put on the sailcover.

Re: Stus-List Sail Flaking

Hi Dennis, I read your suggestion about "pocketing the main". 30 to 40% from the gooseneck positions me on the cabintop. And we are not flaking, but making a burrito that we stuff and roll up onto the boom and tie with a single sail tie? Is that right? Chuck Resolute 1990 C 34R Broad
