Lazy Jacks on a 28-2

[Sidnewport]

I bought A Harken 252 lazy jacks kit... Way overpriced, but.. Hey.. This is a boat. I was going to mount at the 22 ft 5 in they recommend for tall masts, but then I had a heart-to-heart with an Ai guru who lells me to put them below the spreaders.

Any experience with this?

The higher you place the turning blocks, the lower the stress on them (and the pair of screws you tapped in the spar). As a compromise ours are above the lower spreader, but well below the upper one. Note that they will tap against the spreaders and/or spar as they try to vibrate in a breeze. ("Every solution bears the seeds of a new problem" as the old saying goes...)

I would like to ask about light spectra lazy jacks, specifically the plan of the lines, the current system onboard Merrimist is very tired and does not work so well, renewal or replacing and these kind of easy to do upgrades I like to do myself, can anyone forward a plan of or pics as I have...
