Sail Cradle

[Southold]

We purchased a sail cradle.  Any suggestions mom installation would be appreciated. We're new to a sailing and have a 2014  Suncat. There's a lot stuff on the mast ans we're struggling and figuring out the best locations to attach the hardware. Also, do you recommend leaving out when you cover the and not stowing until after you raise the sail?

What the heck is a "Sail Cradle?" Like a Stack Pack for catching the sail/gaff etc when you lower the sail?

Ditto. What is a sail cradle? Can't help without some common terminology. Describe what you bought and what it looks like!

[Southold]

It's type of lazy jacks made by sail care

Do you mean a sail pack?

[Southold]

Nope  check out sail care.com

Got it! Had virtually the same rig  on our Suncat, Cattitude. Worked very well. We never stowed ours against the mast but it is a nice option. The shockcords allow you to keep the lazy jacks deployed without affecting the set of the sail. Unfortunately I can't be of much help on the install since the dealer we bought the boat from put them on and I can't remember how they were rigged.

I bought the Sail Cradle for my Suncat and ended up not using it because you have to go to the mast and play with the lines. that's OK with a big boat with lots of deck space. I installed lazy jacks using the top lines of Sail Cradle. I can drop the sail now from the cockpit. Steve -"NUNKI"

can you send a photo of how you set up the lazy jacks.  I'm having a hard time getting the sail cradle adjusted so it works.

thanks
