Ah, yes, your blog post has a good picture of one possible setup with a rigid vang. Doesn't the vang hit the mainsheet when you're on a port downwind tack? I've had issues with even my non-rigid vang doing that, and it makes it difficult to sheet the main in.
Good call on using the deck block for the vang control line - I forgot I'll need something for that to run it back to the cockpit - so that block won't go to waste. My 2 cents on the lines led aft vs at mast debate: It probably depends on what area of the world you cruise in, but here in the PNW when it's cold and rainy I'd much rather stay under the dodger and bimini. -Patrick On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 1:56 PM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > From: Dreuge <dre...@gmail.com> > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Cc: > Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:42:59 -0500 > Subject: Re: Stus-List How to attach a rigid boom vang on LF38 > > Sorry, I forgot to change the subject heading before. > ——————————————————————————————————— > > > Patrick, > > My mainsheet block is attached to the mast collar.
