Bob, on Pegasus I replaced the station bases so I clip the vang there for a
preventer. I am thinking of installing a nail on the end of my boom, and
running a line forward to the bow cleat and back again to a cleat at the stern.
I'll use this when sailing long distances. I have also used a shroud chain
plate.

Running Rigging Diagram
My vang is now led aft as well and I like it that way a lot.
Where do you guys hook the preventer on the deck end with boats not having a
slotted toe rail? I've used a block on the forward end of the genoa track but
it seems like a lot of load for such a track.

We were racing an Evelyn 32 downwind in heavy air years ago. We essentially
used the vang to trim the main. As the main loaded up, we'd ease the vang. As
the wind eased, we'd trim the vang in. Couldn't have done that easily if the
vang hadn't been run to the cockpit.
That experience stayed with me when I was rigging Touche'. Touche's vang is
run to a rope clutch on the cabintop.

In these diagrams I’ve led the outhaul aft and left the vang & cunningham up at
the mast (although there are fairleads installed for the spinnaker downhaul on
the starboard side of the cabin). The rationale with keeping the vang at the
mast is that if we attach it with a snap shackle we can remove it and use it as
a preventer by attaching it to the toe rail when running wing & wing.
cunningham and vang are also more performance-oriented controls, and we’ll have
a more experienced crew when we race.
