Lazy Jacks for CD28
I've decided to install lazy jacks on my CD28. Need information on the location on the mast for the connection and the hardware, line type, and boom connection area. Also, will this interfere with my sail cover (non zippered)? Thanks in advance, Bill.

Here is the instruction manual for one manufacturer's setup.

Note that most lazy jacks can be designed to retract to the mast and boom so that the sail cover does not require modification.
If you are considering lazy jacks you should at least take a look at the Mack Pack. I installed one on my CD27 and loved it--I know the subsequent owner loves it as well. It is a combination lazy jack/sail cover in the same genre as a Doyle Stack Pack, but at a fraction of the cost and does not get sewn to the sail like a Stack Pack. A few boat units, but worth a look.
