PalmettoSailor will become famous soon enough
I'm going contrarian here myself and am planning to purchase a integrated cover/lazy jack system from my boat. I'm most likely going with the MackPack, primarily due to it being about 1/2 as expensive as other similar systems I've seen. I really don't expect it to be a simple as the downsized models dispayed at the boat show, but so long as the sail stays off the deck, I won't mind having to go forward and tuck it away fully.

Yes it would be cheaper to build my own lazyjacks, but I'd have to then pay to modify my current sail cover, so the total coast might be 30% or more of the MackPack. It also makes dropping the sail and securing the sail more of a single process which will likely save some time every time you sail.
