Best thing I have added to my Cascade 42 is a rigid boom vang. I
purchased a Garhauler (sp). Fit the mast and boom right out of the
box. The foot of the main is 20' long and the traveler is on the end
of boom. Makes main sail control a breeze.

I'll second the Garhauer boom vang. I'll add that the family that
makes them (oddly enough, they are also named Garhauer!) is very eager
to make sure you have a good experience.
