Man, I feel your pain. but how did you connect the top part ? where is part II of the video? did you give up? The Instructions I got are really bad so it may really help. Thanks!
I’m still waiting for my mountain-climbing friend to help me get up the mast, so I haven’t finished this project, nor filmed part 2. In the meantime I’ve just been folding the sail up manually, and I’m usually with some friends so they help. This lazy jack system is mainly to help me solo sail. Thanks for watching and sorry part 2 is still missing. Maybe I’ll finish it this summer. What brand did you buy? My instructions are pretty lacking too, but the little graphic I made in this video should help.

Nice video, hope you are all good and well recovered after motorcycle accident. When do you think your part 2 lazy jacks installing movie will appear? Also I hope all is well with your nice dog (Buddy?). My dog Kira sends greetings to your.
Thank you. Buddy and I are both doing well. Greetings to you and Kira! I never actually finished installing them because I don’t have the equipment to climb the mast. I’m just missing two attachment points about 2/3 up the mast, and they’re identical to the ones I added at the bottom of the mast. Once done, I guess part 2 will simply show how to attach all the lines and operate it.
Hi. I had planned to finish part 2 by now, but a motorcycle accident has kept me away from my boat. I am recovering well and will be back at it soon. Yes, I believe the screws provided are stainless steel (and that the mast is aluminum), so yes, there is a risk of galvanic corrosion. According to the British Stainless Steel Association (www.bssa.org.uk/topics.php?article=89), "Although aluminium is anodic to stainless steel, large relative surface areas of aluminium to stainless steel can be acceptable, dependant on local conditions. Stainless steel fasteners in aluminium plates or sheets are normally considered safe ..." In my case, the boat is also not exposed to salt water, and again, according to the BSSA, "To complete the cell, a conductive liquid must bridge the contact metals. The more electrically conductive the liquid is, the greater the danger of corrosion. Seawater or salt laden moist air is more of a risk than contact with rain water." In conclusion, I think I'll be OK. What do you think? Or even better, what would you recommend? I'd like to avoid going up the mast any more than is needed :)
@@sailingfromswitzerland sorry to hear that, glad you're recovering. Thanks for the references. Sounds like it might be ok..? I'm personally just in brackish water (chesapeake bay) so not sure it would be a big problem here either then. Unfortunately it's a long time since I had chemistry so I don't know much more than that it is a thing:) I guess if your screws fail you'll know it's an issue.. I've read there is stuff you can apply to the screws before you install them to break (reduce?) the metallic contact.
Damage, Inc. Hahaha, I know. If you saw the end, then I did explain I’d be back for a part 2, and then I had a bad motorcycle accident. Life happens. Just waiting to heal to go up the mast and continue. What kind of boat do you have? Have you installed lazy jacks? Thanks
Pfeiffer Marine want us to drill lots of holes into mast & boom. This is not necessary - have a look to Sailor Pauli's low cost Lazy Jacks System without the need of drilling lots of holes.This is far better and costs nearly nothing!

Do you have a lazy jack system on your boat?
Yes
Awesome! This is helpful!
Great video, thanks. Should have used Tef-Gel on the screws and brackets.
Hello, did you ever make part 2 of the Lazy Jack video?
Unfortunately no 😢
I gave up riding my bike for that very reason. Hope you are mending well. Will look forward to part II.

part2? Also, are those stainless steel screws in an aluminum mast, which would cause galvanic corrosion..?

obidamnkenobi Thanks! Also, it’s not a critical part of the boat, or one that is supposed to carry much load.
That will be a big problem in 10 years. Be sure to coat them in Duralac otherwise you will get corrosion.
where is part 2?
Not done yet. I'm awaiting a safe and easy way to get up my mast.
Lazy Jack install video, but never installs the Lazy Jacks.

Hope you heal soon. Would like to see the part 2
they're called saddles, not u-brackets by the way
Max Thank you for the correction. I hope you enjoyed the rest of it.
@@sailingfromswitzerland just waiting for part 2 :P
