different configuration
Hi Renoir,
If you deadend the lazyjack line at the mast (or spreader), and put the turning block on the boom instead, making your adjustments from there, you will have one less line coming down the mast to worry about. A bit more boom clutter, to be sure, but I've seen it done with good success. If your boat is small enough, consider doing away with the lazyjacks altogether--I sailed my Irwin 27 more than 5000 blue water miles with no 'jacks, and I never missed them. They add weight and chafe and windage and bother.
