Custom Lazy Jack Kits

Sail Cradle MKIV

Lazy Jack Kits

Sail Cradle is a unique mainsail handling system that, once installed and deployed, allows you to drop your mainsail into a 3-stage cradle system.

Using data from a spreadsheet program of luff and foot measurements, along with mast heights and boom lengths of over 50 boats of every length from 16' to 43', Sail Care was able to create six kits that cover all these boat sizes. This has allowed them to assemble kits on a semi-custom basis using quality line, hardware and accessories at an affordable price. If your boat is an extremely short rig 28' sloop, or an unusually tall rig 31' sloop, a step up or a step down in kit size should take care of it. Sail Care's database can assist in this choice.

• Lets you drop & secure the main quickly, then finish the job back in the quiet of your harbor or after dropping anchor
• A great aid to single/short-handed sailors or couples
• Keeps the mainsail from spilling off the boom and onto the deck
