Re: Stus-List 30-1 Vang Refit? (RANDY)

Thanks Robert. My boom was raised 12" by some PO. I bought and installed a 
Garhauer vang and I'm happy with it; it keeps the boom down off-wind. 

Cheers, 
Randy

I had 30MKI hull no. 45 

If your boom has not been raised, there may a pretty steep angle for a boom 
vang. The previous owner of my boat raced it extensively and did well without 
one. 

I never seemed to need one but I did have the traveller moved to just aft of 
the companionway and would sometimes rig a preventer to the toe rail on a run 
and that would bring the boom down.
