Sorry, I forgot to change the subject heading before. ———————————————————————————————————
Patrick, My mainsheet block is attached to the mast collar. I have a block lead like the one you mention, it is used for the rigid vang control, in my case a Selden Rodkicker 20. I have a photo of the set up on the blog where I describe replacing the gas shock for the rodkicker. http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/2015/11/repairing-broken-selden-rodkicker.html - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > >> On Dec 21, 2015, at 11:07 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com >> <mailto:cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: >> >> Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2015 20:50:43 -0800 >> From: Patrick Davin <jda...@gmail.com <mailto:jda...@gmail.com> >> <mailto:jda...@gmail.com <mailto:jda...@gmail.com>>> >> To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> >> <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>>" >> <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> >> <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>>> >> Subject: Stus-List How to attach a rigid boom vang on LF38 >> Message-ID: >> <cahixy6r+cav763hreds5_8le9mwcvqxyx9natjbhv0uwxha...@mail.gmail.com >> <mailto:cahixy6r+cav763hreds5_8le9mwcvqxyx9natjbhv0uwxha...@mail.gmail.com><mailto:cahixy6r+cav763hreds5_8le9mwcvqxyx9natjbhv0uwxha...@mail.gmail.com >> >> <mailto:cahixy6r+cav763hreds5_8le9mwcvqxyx9natjbhv0uwxha...@mail.gmail.com>>> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" >> >> I'm thinking of getting a Garhauer rigid vang.
