As a 68 year old gentleman from Fife in Scotland who is just about to start sailing my 22 ft motor sailer, I`m extremely glad I watched this. I was tinkering with the idea of rigging Lazy Jacks but foresaw this problem with the batons. I definitely don`t want to leave the cockpit to go forward and gather sailcloth. I don`t have much of a walkway either side of my cabin. This video was excellent......Oh! and your visuals with the stunning assistant guarantees at least 6 viewings. A great way to memorise the instructions. Extremely well done.
Kelly you are the star of the movie! Dude you are killing us! I have been several channels and I believe Kelly is the best looking women of all sailing boats out there.
Thanks for the demo, one of my first Sailrite tasks is to convert our sail over to a sail bag and install lazy jacks. This was very helpful in showing what is needed beyond just the lines. I have seen, and I'm sorry I don't remember where, someone that installed a set of lines to do the same thing. When you pull on them, it pulls the lazy jacks back to the boom.
Great idea. Need to upgrade our lazy jacks this year. The boom cleat is much better than bungee cord release over sprayhood we currently have & always hated
Exactly the way I've been doing mine, after several trips confounded at the problem. Except for the boat hook trick, I hadn't thought about that. Now all I have to remember is to be sure my reefing lines are loose, or they will cause the same problem!
Good work. Thanks! Enjoyed the video and great advice. I’ve yet to install Lazy Jacks on our boat though enjoyed having them on our previous sail boat. Thanks again . . but, missed a King Arthur installment!
They sure make life easier in this windy Caribbean weather! Can’t imagine sailing without this setup. Thanks! Our little King will be back next episode. 😉
Good tutorial and great visuals. I learned so much better with nice pictures :) Liked and subscribed and I don't even have a boat. That's when I know you guys can get anyone's attention. Well done!
Hi there! Thank you for this vid! Informative and beautiful! I am new to sailing and every tip is welcome! :-) I am actually having a hard time trying to close my lazy jack bag after I fold down the sail... Other boats main sail look neat on the bag but mine looks very sloppy and "fatty" near the mast. Do you have some tips on how to fold and close the lazy jack bag? Thanks!
Seems like if you were to release the boom the sail would set itself straight down wind and issue solved. But hey I've never had battens in my sails. Like your videos. hello from Minnesota
Thats a good system you guys have. I like it. I had a lazy jack system that, when uncleated, they would drop completely down to the sides of the boom. Having a baton caught in those things is a bitch.
No... we did not keep the slip in St. Pete. At $750/month, it would be hard to justify, or afford. They do not allow subletting of slips. In fact, even if you have a slip rental contract, you are technically supposed to let the marina know when you will not be in the slip... this is so they can rent the slip on a transient basis while you're away. But don't expect anything in return for this curtsey, it's just the way it is.
Our marina, Rivers Edge in St. Augustine, will reduce the slip fee by 50% of someone is going to be away for extended periods. The logic they give is that this reserves the slip for the owner and ensures the marina gets something for the slip if they don't have any transients to take it.
Unless the boat is secured to a fixed point, the moment you attempt to raise the mainsail off the wind, whether one uses your technique or not, the boat is going to sail off to leeward. Shouldn't the mainsheet/boom be slacked off?
Not if the boat is under auxiliary power. Letting out the main sheet may help, but you risk the boom slamming back and forth in stronger winds or seas. Like we mentioned in the video, what we showed here was an extreme example, meaning you typically wouldn't turn this far off the wind when raising the main. But if the boat veers just 5-10 degrees off the wind, you may get tangled in the lazy jacks. Sometimes the boat can be dead into the wind and still catch the lazy jacks from the sail luffing back and forth, even when it seems impossible.
"Usually the wife" hu??? Something tells me you would be just fine if "husband" fell overboard. Dont sell yourself short, you're probably a better sailor than said hubby. 😉😉😉😉😉
Interesting .... I raced on a 43' Tri that has a fully battened mainsail w/ "Lazy Jacks". While there was no "stackpack" the boom has a cradle built on it. Here was the problem ... brand new mainsail made of some "high tech" material ... very soon the mainsail started to fail and rip ... NOT GOOD!!! The problem w/ that sail was that it was folding always at the same spots when dropped and stacked on the cradle ... on my racing "beach cat" w/ very similiar material (pentex) I learned to roll the sail up ... not to "flake" it ... of course the "beach cat" sail has a bolt rope, and comes off the mast. On the Tri the mainsail is attached to a sail-track w/ "sliders (?) ... they look like little "traveler cars" so they do not come off. What type of sail material (and wieght) is on Satori??? Have you had any similiar issues???
Great video guys but I think that was King Arthur's idea. Because you've stolen from the King you should give him his favourite tricks twice daily for a week 🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks and best from HKG 🇭🇰
Really like Kelly's (edited) and then when you (edited) after she bent (edited) while holding (edited). But when the video showed (edited) I was very impressed.
I really hope that you read this because how the heck did you get so lucky I mean you're a decent guy you seem like a lot of fun to be with the hell did you get such an awesome woman uses criminy I love you dude someday I hope to buy you guys a drink from my wife and I is catamaran or I should say make you one Vegas bill

I would have paid attention much more in school, had my instructor been so much fun to look at.
Of all the sailing shows I watch, this is the first time I have seen this. Very informative. Thank you.
Yay!! That’s our goal :) Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Kelly you are the star of the movie! Dude you are killing us! I have been several channels and I believe Kelly is the best looking women of all sailing boats out there.
Omg thank you!!! What a great compliment, I’m flattered ☺️☺️☺️

Oh nice! Even better ☺️
Well done guys Key West Misses the Satori crew
Vinny!! We miss you guys and Key West! 😎⛵️🍻
Captain Nick... Admiral Kelly is one hard working and smart at sail management! Thank you for the video... I learned a lot from it.
Yes she sure is! Awesome, thanks for watching!
Good video and informative! Glad to see King Arthur got screen time at the end!
Thanks! Can’t leave out our little King right?! 👑🐶
Great idea. Need to upgrade our lazy jacks this year. The boom cleat is much better than bungee cord release over sprayhood we currently have & always hated
Another great video Nick and Kelly!
Well done!
Thanks Martin and Angela, we appreciate it! :)
I'd like to take this opportunity to say FIRST! And thank Kelly's parents for passing down such a great mix of genes.
That is so sweet, thank you!
A sailing lesson and beautiful scenery.
☺️
Nice instructional video :) The classroom looks infanately better!
Thank you! And yeah for sure, we are loving it! 😎
Thanks for a great video. We've struggled with the lazy jack lines on our Island Packet 35. Your tip is a good one.
They are a bitch, this tip really makes life easier :)
Exactly the way I've been doing mine, after several trips confounded at the problem. Except for the boat hook trick, I hadn't thought about that. Now all I have to remember is to be sure my reefing lines are loose, or they will cause the same problem!
Sweet!! The boat hook trick works very well :)
Not being a sailor, I never knew this was a thing, but I learned something today. Love all the videos! Be safe out there ⛵️⛵️
Yay!! #missionaccomplished 😉 Thank you, we will!
Well put together, as I move forward with my channel I learn from you guys. Keep it up!
Awe thanks!! Final Cut Pro is super easy to work with. We have a lot of fun editing. What software do you use?
Sailing Satori , currently I'm using Pro director 15 by CyberLink it's pretty easy overall but still learning.
Good work. Thanks! Enjoyed the video and great advice. I’ve yet to install Lazy Jacks on our boat though enjoyed having them on our previous sail boat. Thanks again . . but, missed a King Arthur installment!
They sure make life easier in this windy Caribbean weather! Can’t imagine sailing without this setup. Thanks! Our little King will be back next episode. 😉
There is nothing sexier than Kelly working the winch. 😎 cheers, Ted.
😉👙💁🏼♀️
Waiting for Kelly's all over tan!
Always said my favorite color was green! Today, I learned why....nice video guys!
Thank you! ☺️☺️☺️
Well Done, Easy to understand instructional video!!!
Awesome! That was our goal ☺️
Now that's my idea of an instructional video!... great job!
Wow thanks! 😎
Very helpful does it get in the way of reefing .on my old boat the sail is a boom roller. Green is the colour😘
Keep up the great work guys. Lovin' the vids. Take special care of each other and sail on. Sail safe. Stay in touch.
Thanks Captain! 😎⛵️
I like that, I will give it ago. I hope its OK to say, you do make raising the mainsail look lovely xx
Sweet! And thank you :)
That little guy is a rocket!! super fast for his size. Hail to the King
Right! He outruns us both, it’s pretty impressive. 👑🐶
I learned something new. Thanks. Liked and shared!
Awesome thanks so much!
Good tutorial and great visuals. I learned so much better with nice pictures :)
Liked and subscribed and I don't even have a boat. That's when I know you guys can get anyone's attention. Well done!
Oh wow thank you!! We have a blast making our videos! ☺️
Great instructional video. ASA needs to hire you guys to make some vids...
That would be sweet! 😏
thank you for the tips that a great idea i cant wait till i have a boat of my own
Yessss!! 👍🏻

thank you for doing these info videos.
👍🏻
👍🏻
Love your vid! Great job 👍
Thank you!
Well done Kelly. Another good practice when sailing longer than a day is to tie the lazy jacks back to the mast so they don’t rub on the sail.
Thank you! Oh good one! 😀
What is your boat? Looks perfect…in the market again…thanks…sail safe!
You guys make me smile
☺️☺️☺️
Great tip ,, and beautiful anchorage ,,,,,, oh,, and give the king a hug for me .. lol , Cheers
Will do! He sends his love 👑🐶
Thank you, I just learned something and you taught it in style. S/V ...Waves
Yay thank you!
You guys ROCK!
Thank you Peter!
Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
I really enjoy your videos because I learn something new on everyone of them.
Yay so happy to hear, thank you!

Yes the battens are the issue 😬
Yup! Another great video!

Total bitch! 🤪
Total bitch! 🤪
Great job!
Thanks!
Great video even though I totally disagree with your setup. Cheers from your favorite landlubber! 😇
Haha! What up Jorge! Thanks! With our windy situation and battens, this is just how we make life easier..How’s the “land” treating you?! 😉⛵️
Good one guys 😀
Thanks Ryke!
Elegant solution!
It’s confirmed! My favorite color is in fact green.
😉😏
😉😏
What kind of boat do you have?
Satori is a 1989 Morgan 44 ⛵️
You guys very awesome i like your video
Thanks!
Question: Since you are away from your St. Pete dock do you keep paying for the slip in St Pete, give it up or sublet?
No... we did not keep the slip in St. Pete. At $750/month, it would be hard to justify, or afford. They do not allow subletting of slips. In fact, even if you have a slip rental contract, you are technically supposed to let the marina know when you will not be in the slip... this is so they can rent the slip on a transient basis while you're away. But don't expect anything in return for this curtsey, it's just the way it is.
Thanks for the reply...bye the way I leaned something from your video. Keep up the good work. Very informative.
Thank you!

That’s a good deal!

I was having the problem even while motoring into the wind with my auto pilot on, the batons catch anything in their way.

Noted! We will take care of our little King. Extra treats for sure 👑🐶
Y'all made Turks and Caicos! Congrats!
king Arthur was silent, so sad. thumbs up anyway. turks looks nice!
TCI is beautiful!
Arthur?
What about him?
He didn’t get his own segment. 🤔. I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side. Just say’n. 🤪
😳
Really like Kelly's (edited) and then when you (edited) after she bent (edited) while holding (edited). But when the video showed (edited) I was very impressed.
Lol #goodone 😂
Green has always been my favorite color! Just sayin...
😏👙
It's not the lazy jacks that are the problem but the lazy sailer's If they don't follow your lead.
😉👍🏻
cool
The best thing I learned from this video is that I now love green bikinis, lookin good grl!
Happy to help hehe ☺️👙
I really hope that you read this because how the heck did you get so lucky I mean you're a decent guy you seem like a lot of fun to be with the hell did you get such an awesome woman uses criminy I love you dude someday I hope to buy you guys a drink from my wife and I is catamaran or I should say make you one Vegas bill
Looking forward to it!
And I thought you were going to explain another option other than the little blue pill. This sailor doesnt have a problem with my BEEEEPPPP.
Lol Nick made that little joke...cracks us up every time! 🤣
But I have neither a little hottie in a bikini or lazy jacks. I am a solo and I have in mast furling but I get the point your making.
👍🏻
Don't put them back up until your ready to drop the main.youl do so much damage to your sail otherwise
Athar aka king is biblical!
u have gorgeous lazy jacks
Great video as usual, Kelly is such a hottie
☺️😉😎
kelly i was just looking at you..and have no idea wat the hell you were talking about...
🤪
I miss not seeing an episode of King Arthur....i hope his royal subjects are paying attention to his needs. lol
Always! 👑🐶
I dont know about that voice.
This week in unnecessary censorship. Bahahaha.
🤪
Good on ya! Great vid!
😉
