I've never used a lazy jack. I've watched a few videos of boats that have one and it seems they just dangle in the wind when you're under sail. I see the convenience of a jazy jack when it's time to drop the sail but I'm wondering if there are any drawbacks to having one. Do they get in the way at all? How far back on the boom do they typically go?
For reference, I'm sailing a 26 foot trailerable sailboat. I don't race and I almost always sail with just myself and my wife--no other crew.
