Rigid Boom Vang?
« on: July 27, 2011, 11:07:27 AM »
Would appreciate any opinions on rigid boom vangs.  It looks like my PO rarely used a vang - and with the weight of our boom, I can see why.  Mine is rigged, and definitely has some use....however, on other boats, a lot of folks like rigid boom vangs, claiming improved sail shape, better overall performance...so what do you think?

Obviously it would eliminate the topping lift - yeah, it is kinda ugly when under sail, but not a big deal - but beyond that, any thoughts?

Thanks!
