Re: Different vang system

[Christian Rasmussen <Christian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting system.  I have been using a standard cascade system for the 
past 2 months. The upper block (closest to the boom)
is attached in a loop that goes to both side of the boom. (through the 
pipe where the old vang arm was attached) The main disadvantage
is that its harder to sail with the board up in heavy weather since it 
inteferes with the vang. I suppose I could just move the bail up
on the mast.  Then again I have a lot of short boards I could be using 
if it blows.
