Thank you Pauli for this great video! You explain in detail how to make a lazy jack system for my boat. Advantages are for me: detailed explanation, easy to handle and easy to understand, very cost effective and no need to drill holes in mast or boom. As a low budget single handed sailor, this is very exciting for me. Thank you so much; I saved at least € 175,- Hope very much that you will continue with videos like those abaut cost effective self steering...
Thank you for watching and Btw! I recently re-did my Lazy Jacks to have the line that runs along the boom to reach from end to end instead of from the end of the boom to the boom vang. This catches the sail a little better as it catches the head of the sail better. Peace
I'm very inspired by your lazy jack system. I have a 1974 Olympic Dolphin 23 that I'm getting ready to do a slightly modified version of your design. I will be adding small pulleys at the end where your bowlines are for the lines to pass through them easier with zero friction. I will be making a video of my install and I will absolutely be certain to give you credit for the design. Thank you again for the inspired idea. You're a very wise man lol
Yet another informative “how to” from the creative mind of Sailor Pauli. Very clever! Hey Sailor Pauli, can you show us how to tie a quick “man over board” bowling around your waist with one hand? Peace Brother and Sister!
Thanks Paul! Nice and simple configuration and a very clear explanation. I've been considering a lazy jack setup for my C-22 but have avoided it because I don't want to drill all of the holes. I will definitely do this setup for this coming season. Thanks again for the video. 👍 P.S.... this one finally got me to sub!
Very clever design of a lazy jack system. It would help if the video were backed off to get a full perspective. Having one line controlling both sides of the system is so smart and simple.
I love the "no drill" slip knot system. My only concern are the blocks attached to the spreaders. I don't know about your boat, but the spreaders on my Typhoon are pretty thin and I wouldn't chance placing any added stress on them, I attached my blocks to the mast about two inches below the spreaders.
If you would add a diagram of the network and demension it would allow adaptation to most any amass to medium size boat. Since there is no view of the webbing from a distance to the sufde I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure out the web pattern. Great idea plus your self steering system, genius ant yet simple. Thanks.
Love the video. But really don't like the line on line webbing slip connections. Very strong synthetic lines like dyneema will very quickly cut through themselves. Replacing the connections with some cheap stainless steel O rings where the supporting line runs through will make this a rig to last a lifetime. FWIW: following this with the ss o rings is how I plan to rig my boat.
i just bought a Laguna 22 that seems to have some variation of this installed on it.. i havent figured it out yet , havent stepped the mast yet even, next week i hope... anyways noticed lots of extra lines on the boom and then noticed the 2 blocks on the spreaders and extra lines running down with the halyards, there are also 4? stainless rings, i assume it will make sense when i get around to splashing the boat
Yeah. Sounds like a lazy jack rig. I just use bowline loops instead of stainless rings. They weren’t simple enough for me. Hehe. Good Luck with the Laguna. Sounds like an interesting boat! I’d like to see photos.
Thats a great question. I used two strips of aluminum to make clamps with a stainless steel bolt and locking nut. The blocks hang from the bolt clamps. I need to make a short of these. You can find blocks with clamps as well but this solution was cheaper. I also converted some old cheek blocks off a broken mast into simple blocks with aluminum straps and ss bolts. The clamps fix the position on the spreaders eliminating fuss. The simplest way is to buy two small blocks and make aluminum straps with ss bolt and lock nuts.
That's a good point. I usually only use it when I anchor. I'll make a short video! Check out my jib downhaul video. you can see it holding the sail over my head.
This is exactly the kind of thing I've been mulling over in my head, and now you've saved me all the trial and error!
Awesome

@@adventuresofsailorpauli1543 Yes, I can imagine this to work even better. I amended my handwritten setup procedure. Thank you!
Thank you this video was indespendably helpful in allowing me to figure out how to rig up some simple lazyjacks for my sailing canoe.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome teaching, just rigged mine up thanks to you

Good job, really simple and smart system you made. Thanks for showing it !
Glad you liked it!
How thick is the thinner rope which you use in the web system ?
Nifty system - I like it - Thanks for the post.
Perfect ! Thanks for posting !

Thanks a lot. Will be on my Marieholm 261 this spring :)
Best of luck!
Followed your advice on my Beneteau first 18 and it worked a dream. Love that I didn’t have to drill into the boom. A1 !
Thanks buddy!

I made some aluminum strip clamps to bolt a small bullet block to each spreader

Buy this man a beer, at least a 12pack!

Thanks for watching! I guess you could mount cheeks blocks on the side of your mast.
agreed!
Forgot to say, also saves cost of little 'fairleads' & screws!

I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!

This looks really good. I will try this out. Maybe dynema rope would be good?
I have never used Dynema but it will probably work fine. Good Luck!
Very interesting, next video how you place the sailcover on that, please.
Great Idea. I made a sail cover already, but hadn’t thought of that.
Nice
Hi I like simple and easy. What did you use to attach your blocks to the spreaders.
Thats a great question. I used two strips of aluminum to make clamps with a stainless steel bolt and locking nut. The blocks hang from the bolt clamps. I need to make a short of these. You can find blocks with clamps as well but this solution was cheaper. I also converted some old cheek blocks off a broken mast into simple blocks with aluminum straps and ss bolts.

nice wind noise , what did you say?
Which part?

Any video in use?
