Anyone install a set of Harken Lazy Jacks on their boat?
I have a set, and my boss keeps telling me lazy jacks are awesome....... I have installed several sets on boats before, but not real sure if the kit I have will work (not sure what kit this is...... trying to find out now)

Thanks!

I don't believe you really need lazy jacks. EZ to install. Hang the end of the boom from the aft standing rigging with a Q/D. Up to you.

skip.

I received this set from a sailor years ago, said I could have them for the blocks on them, it was a brand new setup.

I guess I will look at the measurements in the install manual and see if they will even work on it. This could replace my topping lift as well. The rig could be too small overall for it.
