I'm considering purchasing a lazy jack system for my 28.5. Any manufacturer recommendations? Any problems I am likely to encounter? Is it likely to hinder my sailing performance? Any advice would be welcome!

consider a dutchman system

I've been looking at Lazy jacks also. My local sailmaker suggested a dutchman instead---says Hunter is installing dutchman systems now!?

ditto on the Dutchman System

I had Harken lazy jacks on a previous boat. Ken, I would look into the Dutchman if I were you. I had the Dutchman system installed this spring on the full batten mainsail aboard my '97 h280. If you don't mind the extra expense of the Dutchman, IMHO it really is a far superior system to the retracting or non-retracting lazy jacks.
