Ed, what exactly is the problem that you're ...
trying to resolve? We have a 1991 P42 with standard rigging and Dutchman system and I really like it. I clean and dry lube the track each season and the main goes up by hand with ease except for the last six inches and comes down like a falling rock. Terry

Lazy Jack
Ed, I put the Lazy Jack system on my 1983 H 34 and it worked great. Just drop the sail into the pocket and zip it closed when leaving the boat.

Stack Pack
I was thinking of adding stack pack also there a couple of sail manufactors who make the set up. but after listening to guys on this forum say they can be more trouble and some good and bad I decided to inprove my lazy jacks. nick

I went with the Mack Pack from. . .
Mack Sails two years ago and really like it. Its less expensive than the Doyle but just as good in quality. Check out their web site. It comes with new lazy jacks, which were much better thought out than the OEM lazy jacks that came with my boat.

Putting on the mainsail cover is a pain
if not downright dangerous while underway. A stack pack or similar is a must for the P42. Has anyone retrofitted one to their old sails?

We've had our P42 for three years and I really...
like the Dutchman system; it works. Our sailcover goes on and comes off pretty easy even solo, far from dangerous while underway IMHO. Now, replacing and/or lubricating the engine kill cable, that is a pain! Terry

Terry probably body shape has a lot to do with it
mine is round. I agree the dutchman system is preferable to lazy jacks that I have had on previous boats. The issue is hanging on to the mast to zip up the cover in heavy seas.
