Jim,

Your looking at around $160. Scheaffer and Harken offer prefabricated systems. I believe Harken is the more expensive at $180.

If you take a close look though, you can make your own. I'm going to do just that this spring - probably for a lot cheaper tahn the local (or any other) marine store can offer.

Good morning
I use the Sail Care's lazy jacks called Sail Cradle MK111.
The price is very good and they work fantastic.
Used them on my Capri 22 and now on my C250.
Because I sail alone alot ,No matter how windy you will never have a problem raising or lowering your main.

Has anyone assembled the Lazy Jacks described in the C25 technical tips?

Looks like an inexpensive solution. Any more insight? I was contemplating this as one of my projects this year.
