Home made lazy jack
I'm looking for a design for a simple home made lazy jack system for Triton "Osprey" hull # 624. If you've made one let me know how it worked out. Thanks. Gary

Re: Home made lazy jack
Using a basic concept penned by someone else, I made up these retractable lazy jacks and am very happy with them.
Retractable Lazy Jacks
They are harder to describe than they are to set up and use, so if it isn't clear let me know how to clarify.

Re: Home made lazy jack
I made mine useing Tim's system and it works ok...but I do not have full battons
and I am planning on adding a third leg to help catch the sail. The only other problem I have with mine is I need a little more weight on the boom line. When I want to tie the system off, I have to pull the boom lines down by hand. I used the smallest Harken pulleys that I could find. I think I paid about $75.00 for everything including the line, pulleys & the cleat for the mast.
