"I am younger than that now."
Must be a Dylan fan.Does he have any songs about sailboats? Anything we can
adapt to old C&Cs?Finally had a day under 90 F friday and went out sailing.
Winds at 20 with gusts as high as 28mph; used my 160% genny only and it was a
great choice, although tacking took a while. Once through the tack, the wind
just kept blowing the bow down. Had to gain speed and nurse it back to
windward. Downwind was a blast!RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Subject: Re: Stus-List Rigid boom vangs - rivets vs screws
Too funny. After my post favoring SS rivets, I get to Touché today to see 1/4
inch Phillips machine screws on the vang bracket. :)
Well, it was many years ago when I installed it; I am younger than that now.

{}#yiv3482658130 One thing to remember about the Garhauer vang is that the
attachment to both the mast and the boom are custom made for the boat (you send
them the profile of the mast and boom when you order the vang), and the plates
attached to the mast and boom wrap significantly around the spars. (On my 25
about half of the boom is cradled in the attached plate. ) So the fasteners
connecting the plate to the spar are under primarily shear loading, not
tensile. For this sort of configuration, the additional cross section of the
machine screw (or cap screw, if you use those) would seem the better choice.
If, however, you have something like a Boomkicker, or a vang with “generic”
mounting plates that don’t curve around the spars, rivets might be a better
choice. Rick BrassImzadi C&C 38 mk2 #47la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1
