Good choice of name Rahn! Looks great. Have a great cruise and take lots of pix. I am going to sail tomorrow and will take some pix of my lazy jack arrangement with the Sailcare system. They work well enough but there was no easy way to adjust/stow them without leaving the cockpit. My solution was to add about 4' of additional shock cord on each side with carabiner clips at the original rear connection point. I can slack them off while sailing and adjust them for furling simply by pulling the extensions and hooking the carabiners to the original connection points. The shockcord extensions connect to the hooks on the lazy jacks and run through the original eyepads installed with the Sailcare system and terminate with a stopper knot. I slack off the lazy jacks when I put on the sailcover on. Easier to show than describe!
