Frequently Asked Questions
Q: [How many Lazy Jack Schooners have been
built?]
A: [32]
Q: [What material is the LJ32 made
of?]
A: [Fiberglass reinforced plastic with wood trim, Boomkin and bowsprit]
Q: [How Much did the new LJ32 cost
originally$]
A: [About $43000 ready to sail away according to a 1985 Nautical
Quarterly article. Of course, options would have a substantial impact on
the final price.]
Q: [Are there any new fiberglass schooners
in production currently?]
A: [Not that I can find, However the Cherubini 48 is available as a semi
custom boat (They have previously built boats to the design) and I'm
sure additional designs could be custom built in fiberglass.]
Q: [What size crew is needed to cruise the
LJ32?]
A: [Two including the Captain is ample for daylight only sailing. The
boat has been sailed single handed (I don't recommend it).]
Q: [Does the LJ32 sail well with the
foresail (middle sail) dropped?]
A: [Yes - We've sailed the LJ32 in light and strong winds with the
foresail down. It sails well in either case. Dropping the foresail is a
good first step for reducing sail area. The LJ32 can also be sailed on
the foresail alone.]
