How is EZ-JAX different from lazy jacks, such as the ones sold in marine stores?
• The EZ-JAX system retracts along the boom when you are not using it, unlike most lazy jacks that stay up all the time. This unique feature of the EZ-JAX system eliminates three common problems associated with ordinary lazy jacks; 1) you must modify your sail cover to accommodate the control lines 2) the battens catch in the lines while raising the sail 3) the lines and blocks chafe the sail because they are always in the way. You deploy the EZ-JAX system only when you are ready to drop the main. The rest of the time EZ-JAX are retracted below the boom, where they are out of the way.
