[C38] Mack Pack sail cover

[Max Soto]

Bill, I have shock cords that goes from the lazy jacks to the shrouds, so I just release a little bit of tension(my lazy jack is not fixed) and they will open wide... 
When I had no shock cords, I just released totally the lazy jack on the leeward side, and the sail will go up without a hassle.
