C&C Sailors- The C&C 30 MK1 hull #7 I just bought does not have a boom vang. Perhaps because its boom appears designed for furling the main by rolling it around the outside of the boom. Or perhaps because vangs were not standard equipment on 30-1s (I don't see vangs in the brochures). But in looking at comparables before buying my boat, I did see 30-1s on the market with bangs, boom kickers, etc.
Have any 30-1 sailors on this list found it necessary or unnecessary to have a vang? Or necessary to rig something else to keep the boom down? I'm worried about the boom pulling up on broad reaches or runs. On the other hand, I think it's a fairly heavy boom, and the boom-end sheeting may help to keep it down. I'd be interested in your comments. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C&C 30 MK1 #7 Ken Caryl, CO
