The actual placement on the boom seems that yours are placed further aft on the boom but spaced about the same apart.  Is it at all possible to get measurements, especially along the boom? Materials: 60 feet of quarter inch line, two eyepads, two snap hooks. eight hog rings (for attaching the lines at the top  eyepad and attaching the forward Lazy Jack line to the long Lazy Jack line running to the aft), and some black Atomic  tape that I already had. Homemade Lazy Jacks  33  made my own Lazy Jacks, total cost around fifteen dollars. The attached photos show how I rigged it. After a complete  blotch, I went back to the drawing board. It is really very simple. I attached an eye pad about four inches above the  mast hound at the top of the mast. I secured a quarter inch line to the eyepad and ran in down to the eyepad on the boom  where the main sheet attaches and used a snap hook to attach it. Then I looped the line under the boom and ran it back up  to the top eyepad. I rigged the sail and experimented as to how much slack the line needed. The idea is for the billow of the  sail to push the line out and take the slack from the upwind side. It seemed to work. With the sail raised, I then reached  as high as I could and tied the forward line to the line already in place. I dropped the line straight down and looped it  under the boom and used another snap hook to secure the line to an eyepad that I installed at that spot on the bottom side  of the boom. That's all there was to it. I  Posted By: Dick Herman
