CLASSIC SAIL PACK

The Sail Pack made by Guardtex is a sail protection system that works with a lazy jack system.

The hudge advantage over a mainsail cover is that it allows you to automatically lower the mainsail into the cover without folding it and while staying in the cockpit. It's much easier and completely safe.

How does it work?

• The lazy bag, onto which we've sewn a bolt rope along its entire length except where the reef clews are, slides into the boom's groove.
• The reefing points pass through the cover.
• It's suspended at the level of the spreaders by lazy jacks attached to the mast.
• It's reinforced by fiberglass battens with a diameter of 10 or 12 mm, which you may already have or can purchase from a marine supply store. We've provided sleeves into which you'll slide the battens.
• It closes at the top with a YKK zipper, with a 10 mm plastic teeth width, the slider is also in plastic..

To order, ONLY 6 measurements to take on your boat.
We check their consistency, and manufacture your custom Sail Pack in 3 days.

Remains practical even while sailing

The top part that holds the sail head folds inside the cradle and the sail pack remains closed at the front with the lower quick-release fasteners.

Difference with the Comfort model:

The zipper is sewn on the top of the bag. It opens at the head of the sail You need to be able to reach it with your hand. If the head of the sail is inaccessible, it will be easier for you to use the COMFORT sail pack because the zipper is on the port side.

To read before ordering :

1. The lazybag is suitable for a sail with a loose foot, so the boom's groove is free and can receive the lazybag's bolt rope. If your sail has a bolt rope that is inserted into the boom, then choose the "sail with bolt rope" option. We will make the following modification : the bolt rope usually sewn on the lazybag will be replaced by a PVC strip, allowing you to slide both the PVC strip and the sail's bolt rope into the boom's track simultaneously.
2. Battens are not provided or sold on our website due to shipping costs. It's more cost-effective to reuse existing battens or purchase them locally. The lazybag is equipped with two sleeves made of Dacron, accepting battens up to 14mm in diameter or flat battens up to 25mm. For boats under 36 feet, a 10mm diameter for the battens is sufficient. A 12mm diameter is suitable for boats up to 45 feet. If larger dimensions are required, please inform us. The batten is secured by a Velcro flap, and the bottom of the sleeve is heavily reinforced to prevent the batten from piercing it.
3. For attaching the lazyjacks, please indicate their quantity on the measurement form. They are loops made of 25mm thick polyester webbing, sewn onto PVC reinforcement. They provide the connection between the lazybag and lazyjacks with a bowline knot that you will tie.
4. The attachment system called lazyjack is not included.
5. The lazybag is made in one piece. While sailing, to prevent the part protecting the head of the sail from flapping in the wind, simply fold the excess fabric inside the bag and close the quick-release fasteners in front of the mast.
6. Package dimensions: length 20" x width 17" x height 8" - Average weight: 4 to 7kg
