So how do you like the Offshore Spares solid vang? Could you live
without it, or is it a major plus having it?

I am no engineer, but my boat does have a well built boom (Hall) and a
solid vang (Offshore Spars) and a topping lift. I am not worried
about any of the three under any conditions. My vang does have a
means to "lock" it with a quick release pin and a number of holes into
which it can be placed.
