When lowering sail, do not let halyard go. Ease cars down

by keeping a wrap on winch.

On boats with unstayed masts, vang must be used to prevent

Use shock cord to hold Lazy Jacks open

so Battcars and battens will not catch on

them. This will also help stop slapping of

Lazy Jacks on sail.

Attach one end to lower spreader tips and

the other to Lazy Jacks.

Make sure shockcord is long enough so

boom can swing out all the way without

damaging spreaders.

Lazy Jacks

Remove clevis pin. Press quick-release button and push up

Operation

down. Let stand. To remove detergent, spray water into ball

bearings and circulate. Clean tracks with detergent and water.

Inspect Battcars for wear. Inspect batten receptacles for

loose fasteners.
