I purchased a Mack Pack from Mack Sails, which includes integrated lazy jacks and zippered cover.

i really like the set up. And dropping the sail into the bag is a snap.

If you're handy and have a good sewing machine, the Sail Pack kit from Sailrite is pretty good. You have to sew it up yourself but you save half or more that way. I built one from my own design that ended up really close to the Sailrite kit (I hadn't seen the kit at that time) and it works very well.

Two flaws that I have noticed at our docks on a couple packs: on a smaller boat, high winds pulled the mainsail partially out of the cover. Could have caused expensive damage but we caught it early and laced it shut for the owner who wasn't out there. The other issue on an Oday 272 was every Spring they had to clean out nests. Sometimes eggs. One time baby birds. They might have been user errors or design problems to watch for.
