Guys am to understand that the reason you need to keep the boom stable
and therefore use the vang system you do is because of your mainsheet
cleating system?
Why then wouldn't you just use one of these

and then use a normal vang???

Mark,
Good to hear from you. I too was sorry about the Vancouver regatta.
Next year we will make sure that a Northwest regatta occurs.
Regarding the vang assembly: been there and done that with the purchase
system. The boom rocks so much that the mainsheet cleat becomes
useless. I only had to sail for 15 miserable minutes with that system
to know that it was not going to work. In addition to stabilizing the
boom, our eccentric cam system provides more power as it is pulled on
further and meets with more resistance. Once the sleeve on the mast is
adjusted to the correct spot, the system works very well.
Best regards,
Bram
