With all of those solar panels it would look impossible to get on top to guide the main through the lazy jacks, unless they've come up with a solution? Or will there just be a bunch of damaged solar panels? If you loose the Lazy Jacks and bring them forward, parallel to the mast before you raise the Mainsail they are not a problem. Lazy Jacks have been on sailboats for many decades, but the purpose is to contain the sail when it is being lowered, and should be designed properly to be able to be brought forward to the mast raising the sail and also any long distance sailor will not have them rigged during a passage since they will cause chafe on the mainsail over days of use with the mainsail raised. They have no purpose underway.
