Just got back from our trip yesterday. Some post trip observations

1) the lazy jacks were attached via cleat hitch to a cleat on the mast so probably could have adjusted them but didn't bother.

2) easing of the sheets a bit, raising the main when moored and wind direction and mooring were good and having a crew member on the bimini to move the lazy jacks out of the way helped.

3) by the end of the trip ended up sailing with just the jib to Norman (from Jost) and to Rd Town. Ended up still doing 5.5 - 6 knots in 17-20 knots of wind, close-hauled (50-60 degrees off wind). Some of the nicest and calmest sailing all week. Very pleasant.
