Boom Vang - SailNet Community
2010年8月22日 · The end of the boom doesn't need to be held down if the boom is held down further forward, since it doesn't really bend. The purpose of a boom vang is to help keep the boom from rising when the boat is sailing on a beam reach or deeper. When sailing a close reach or close hauled, the mainsheet acts to keep the boom down, so a vang isn't really ...
Boom Vang Attachment - SailNet Community

This also will take up the shock loads. I use this method on a wood boom on a 37' offshore boat... "Your dreams minus your doubts equals your net worth".
Boomvang Placement - SailNet Community
2008年9月28日 · Boomvang Placement. On my Catalina 22, the boomvang attaches to the boom 2 feet aft of the mast, 20% of the boom's total length of 10 feet. This puts the vang at 65degree above the horizontal, and seems to limit my ability to put on more vang when I need it. Is there a rule of thumb or a formula that says where on the boom the vang should ...
Sailing without topping lift or boom vang | SailNet Community
2015年9月23日 · The boom vang (or similar device) takes over the job of leech trim when the boom no longer resides over the boat. When close hauled, the boom is over the boat with the mainsheet tensioned. You need little to no vang when beating. Ease the boom over the rail on a close reach and you begin to lose downward tension from the mainsheet.
What size boom vang - SailNet Community
2013年4月19日 · The smallest Harken blocks (they have a fiddle with 40mm large sheaves) would be fine. Those two blocks plus some 1/4" line will do the trick and give you 3:1 purchase on the vang. The block with the cleat goes on the mast, the one with the fiddle goes on the boom. The line starts at the becket, goes around the smallersheave on the fiddle, back ...

The Garhauer rigid boomvang is only $275 or so, vs. the $325 or so for the soft boom vang from Schaeffer and far more versatile... it's a no brainer IMHO. If your boat were larger, the next size rigid boom vang is only $412, so it is still a no-brainer IMHO...

I make my own little makeshift cunningham with a small length of line but I have never used a boom vang. My question is whether anyone knows who makes a good quality boom vang and cunningham for my ...
Boom Vang and or Topping Lift - SailNet Community
2016年5月11日 · Using the halyard as a topping lift also allows you to move the mainsheet to one end of the traveler to get the boom 'out of the cockpit'. You can ease the vang to lift the boom, but it will be more stable with the sheet and halyard/topping lift in tension. Ron. 1984 Fast/Nicholson 345 "FastForward".

Rigging a preventor using the boom vang on a C22
2009年9月1日 · If there's room you can attach your preventer (in a similar manner to seafrontier) to the vang attachment point in the boom, or to the vang shackle itself. If it's a loose footed main then a simple strap around the boom will do the trick. Ron. …
