[Alberg30] Lazy Jacks

[Jacques Dusseault]

Dear George,

I would be interested in your design and geometry for retractable 
lazyjacks.  I have tried the fixed lazyjacks but they caused more 
trouble than good so I removed them.  I am planning to design some 
retractable ones this winter so any help you can give me would be 
appreciated.
