[Public-List] Boom Vang Specifications

[Dwayne Back via Public-List]

I am looking to add a boom vang to my boat, especially since reading some of the old posts about the boom becoming caught by the backstay during a jib due to a lifted boom.  I am wondering what size vang others have used.  I see everything from 600 lbs to 2250 lbs swl and various line sizes.  Even when they refer to boat sizes there is quite the range for 30 ft boats.

Thank you,
Dwayne
