Not a Mack Pack but a homemade zipper top. I could tune up the last couple of lazyjacks I suppose…

Not familiar with a ‘Mac pack’, but this is a ‘stack pack’ by Doyle. As with everything , advantages & disadvantages . Advantages slightly outweigh the negatives..keeps the crew happy though…Gary , Aloki NS 30329
After reading how Paul Miller “adapted” his traditional sail cover to a top-zipper “Mack Pack” style, I took my (older and somewhat beaten up) sail cover and “had it adapted”. It kinda hangs below the foot of the sail (and doesn’t actually cover the sail except at the mast).
It does NOT look as snazzy as one on ALOKI (or Paul’s boat either, I’m sure) but gets the job done. It is now shot and will be replaced this summer with exactly the same kind of cover but nice and new. That will be lovely.
I’ve attached it to this. The photo does make me look like I’ve put on some weight. Must be water refraction …
