Lazy Jack Kits allow mainsails to be reefed or dropped with ease, by retaining the sail between lines running from the mast (near the hounds) to the boom. These lines can be slackened whilst sailing to avoid restricting sail shape.
Ideal for use with fully battened or conventional mainsails, these complete kits contain stainless steel, plastic-coated wires with blocks and fixing eyes attached. High quality braided line, all fixings and comprehensive fitting instructions are also included.
A unique feature of Barton lazy jack kits is the soft plastic block covers which prevent sail chafe and enhance appearance.
Lightweight lazy jack kits
These all-rope kits still feature our unique block covers but are inteded for smaller yachts or lightweight use.
Not recommended for large yachts or fully battened mains. We also recommend that the use of a topping lift is retained.
Cascade lazy jack kits
Available in standard and lightweight format. For use with longer boom lengths where more sail control is required.
