[Jay Friedland]

Jeff, & list,
This whole assembly was purchased from Garhauer complete several years ago,
at less than the individual parts.

⦁ Attached to the boom bale (I used different, but this is cheaper and
should work):  <https://www.garhauermarine.com/boom-bale-bb-2.html> which is

This block does not come with a snap shackle, but other manufacturers may.
Garhaur is very accommodating about modifying their equipment and will
probably add a snap shackle if requested.
I used 5/16" line for the 3:1 purchase, which (like the blocks) I had lying
around. Since the vang can only be used with the pop top down and can also
be used as a preventer by having a third double grommet-ed strap which wraps
around the cabin top hand rail - having the snap shackles on both ends is a
real convenience.
Many thanks to all the R22-ers on this forum from whom I have borrowed
heavily!
