I have a Garhauer power vang, and still find uses for my topping lift.
It is handy to have around. I even use it to hold up the mast while
removing or installing the boom and vang each fall and spring. It also
hauls my long-range wifi up the backstay. :-)

I use both a rigid vang and topping lift. The problem is furling the
main in a seaway. When you lean on the boom for support to put sail
ties on as the boat rolls and pitches, the vang won't support your
weight and swings to leeward while getting lower. Even cranking on the
sheet won't help.
Unless you're racing at a fairly high level, belt and suspenders is my
recommendation.

I seem to remember that the Landfall project boat is “wally bryant
stella blue”. The documentation is outstanding.
Also, I fail to see the need for a topping lift if the boat has a
rigid vang. My vang (Garhauer) is spring loaded and keeps the boom
above horizontal unless I haul it down. The topping lift
disappeared many years ago.

Thank you, Josh and John. I really appreciate the detailed
replies. If you have pictures as well please email me some directly.
Yes, Nina is a Landfall built in 1980. I've researched her
numbers and also have some of the original paper work. Paul
Eugenio who is on this list also helped confirm that last year
after I bought her. If you all have not seen his website you
should. (link below) I actually use it as a reference for other
projects that I've done and plan to do. He does an amazing job
documenting his work.

Hey Brian,
I'm back again. You might consider using amsteel for you
topping lift it is relatively cheap and you can do the
splicing yourself (locked brummel eye splice with closed
thimble). If the length is in question then use the halyard to
pull a tape measure up the mast then walk back to the boom end
and figure the length. You'll want to subtract a foot or two
so that the boom has room to be lifted.
Use a bosun's chair to attach one end to the top of the mast.
Mine is rigged the same a John Stanford describes. Mine is
cleated on the boom just forward of the dodger.
Now that others are mentioning it,g the boat in the picture
looks a lot like my 37+. 1989 was the first year for the 37+
and was the successor to the 37 but also brought with it
characteristics of 40. Is there a chance that yours is a 37?
Looks like we all answered your question. Any others?

Greetings everyone,
I'm in search of a good schematic for redoing the rigging
on my LF 38. I have the manual and it shows some length
measurements, but I'm not fully educated on the terms. The
only thing holding up the boom now is the old rope guides
that keep the main from falling on the deck. When I
bought her the SS cable that connects the back of the boom
to the top of the mast was off and stowed below and there
is only a connector on one end and bare wire on the other.
Not sure how it connects to the boom...etc. I see a cheek
block that I need to replace on the boom near the mast. I
want to rig it the proper and best way, but I don't have
any good drawings and just looking for some guidance.
Regards,
