[Alberg30] Lazy Jacks

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

The EZ Jack system works very nicely. A few years ago when I first spotted
it at the show, I studied it pretty closely. Shortly there after, I spliced
up my own copy and used it constantly. So long as you raise them tightly
before dropping the sail, they work great. Since then I've sold my Alberg
and bought a larger cutter rigged boat (18' long boom). I just recently
spliced up a set for this boat and have used them about a dozen times so
far. My comment still stands, The system works very nicely when raised
tightly. By the way, they stow completely out of the way (under the boom)
and require no modifications to sail or cover.
