My boat doesn't have a vang, the middle hatch is in the way. The Mac
had one, good while running downwind to prevent the boom from lifting
and gybing. In lighter air ,I'd clip the bottom to a stanchion base as
a preventer.

Ok Doug,

I' ll give it a try

Since the Vang; Solid or Rope, What ever, has been kicked around as
a
Hoisting Device, which it isn't let's talk about what it is for.

Why is it necessary? When do you use vang pressure? To do what? If
it's
good sometimes, why not all the time?

How much tension should be put on a Vang? Can a strong Deck Ape over
apply tension by hand?

Let's talk about it.

You first Doug. It is a Racers gimmick. Tell us why?

Ole Thom
P/S Bart, jump in on this. You too, Donal.
We'll even listen to the voice of Plowville.
I know City Island will contribute.

Scott,

You should think about the twin cruising vang. It can act as a preventer
& vang. It will also maintain your sail shape when you let out the sheet
to reach or run.

Yeah Scotty.. it doubles as a cherry picker for those dockside cargo loads
of squirty cheese and beer.
