In the photo at
<http://www.westwightpotter.com/images/news/2%20P15s%20at%20dock.jpg>, it I
look very close, I think I can see a pair of lazyjack lines supporting the
boom and sails on Bruce's Aillte, which is the P15 rafted out in the
foreground. In the background of the same photo is Manatee, with her spars
and orange-and-white sails hauled up out of the way, supported by the lazy
jack.

>Do any of the PY's remember how Bruce Little had his LJ set up? As I can
>recall he had an 1/8" line tied in a loop that went under the boom and up to
>two lines that were attached to the top of the mast, one to a padeye, and
>the other through a cheek block and down to a cleat on the side of the mast.
>The looped line passed through two padeyes on the underside of the boom.
>>From the gooseneck, one padeye was at about %25 and the other about %66 of
>the length of the boom. I remember him telling that during the testing
>phase he taped the padeyes to the boom so he could move them. He said that
>he tried different locations (for the padeyes) and lengths of line (for the
>loop) until he got it right. The rig was adjustable although asymmetrical
>when used as only one side of the loop was raised or lowered. That didn't
>seem to be a problem as the rig worked fine.
