[Rhodes22-list] Question on boom attachment point for vang

[Roger Pihlaja Home]

Hi Rodney,

You want the boom vang to make a ~45 deg angle relative to the mast.  So, the distance from the boom gooseneck to the boom attachment point is the same as the distance from the mast step to the boom gooseneck.  I used the boom in the lowest position for this measurement.

They’ll be attached to each side of anchor stepping plate on the through bolt.  It will all be topped with a Harken 4:1 40mm Carbo boom vang system .
