- - I built my lazy jack system from Home Depot 1/4" nylon line $5 plus Schaeffer blocks @$14 each. Depending upon how big your boom is you can use the 2, 3, or 4 lines system which meands 4, 6, or 8 blocks. The little Schaeffers and the line all added up to about $100 plus or minus 30 bucks. My system has been in active use in the Caribbean sun for 10 years and still works fine. The commercial kits sold in boat stores start around $200 and go up to about $450 for the really big systems. It was another $100 for cloth and zipper to make the "bag" system for covering the sail. Of course, I did all the work and sewing myself with saved about $1,000 or enough to buy a Sailrite sewing machine which then enabled me to sew up bimini, hatch covers, awnings, and dozens of other canvas projects saving me mega thousands of dollars. You will have to learn how to do the stuff, but Sailrite has excellent guide books and instructional videos or you can get a book or two to read up on how to do it.
