Thanks Carter I like the idea of the buntline hitch on the SS rings. I could not get the link to work. Is the photo still on line?
Sorry about that. Here's a Dropbox link to a photo (apologies for the poor resolution) that shows the lazy jacks in the up position. Summer in Vineyard Haven *sigh*.

Thanks Carter.

So it looks as though you have a three leg system and you lead the main line up to the mast, but below the spreaders. Is that correct? How well does that work at the aft end of the sail?

Hi, they have been doing that sense the 1970's maybe before, nothing new.

i have seen people do that from west wight potter 15' and up morgan 41 footer.

very cheap way to do that, most people on the gulf coast do that and over seas.
