Well, I went ahead and got the "SailCaddy 8", and installed it on Bossa Nova ...
And now I've removed it and gone to my own design of lazyjacks. They're simple they're inexpensive, they stow out of the way, and they do a decent job of catching the main. If anyone's interested I'll post the system.

Still flirting with the Stackpack, and I'd like to hear from anyone who has used one for a while. How do you catch the reef-clews through a Stackpack?
