[Public-list] Fw: boom vang

[cathie & john coultis]

Thanks for your suggestion Ed.

I stand corrected - the vang we actually have now (with a bail) is not the
original one. After reading Don Campbell's  "vang" response, I remembered
the original one was a strap and metal piece that slid into the groove on
the boom...it went overboard a very long time ago.

...and our thanks to Don Campbell,  for the "physics of vangs" explanation.

We're going to re-think this over the winter and add it to the projects on
our expanding work list.

> Assuming that you secure the lower end of the black/tackle boom vang to
the mast base, the best angle would be 45 degrees. However, that would not
give you much pull down on the boom other than near the gooseneck. Therefor
I suggest that, instead of going out on tthe boom 4 ft (the same dimension
as the height of the boom from the mast base), go out 5 ft. You will still
get sufficient down pull to control the sail leech. Ed. Schroeder #303
