Lazy jacks, Yes or No?

I have the Harken lazy jacks on my C&C 37. There is enough extra line to
allow me to pull everything to the mast where I hook it behind the reefing
hook. I have full battens in the main and I only have to be careful with
the first part of the hoist. Once the first short batten gets past the
lines all the others pass without attention. Lazy jacks are certainly handy
things to have on a larger boat, especially if you single-hand.
