One of the first projects on my TD list this spring is to install a set of Lazy Jacks. I would like to make up my own system and attach the Main support leg to the spreaders. So first question is: How high are the spreaders off the deck ? I understand that this height should be approx. 70% of the mast height. Are the spreaders up high enough for mounting them there ? Second : If I use 3 legged system what would be the optimum placement of each leg ? Good Old Boat Magazine has a good write up on how to install these, but depending on the boom length it's a trial and error job to find the optimum placement. So in order not to re-invent the wheel has anyone done this and how did it work out?
Thanks in advance Marty
