FWIW, I stopped using my topping lift because it’s a nuisance when sailing. Instead, I use the boom vang when raising, lowering the sail. When the sail is not being used, I use the main halyard as my “topping lift” to raise the boom to get it out of way. I just run it to the end of the boom, go around the boom, and attach the shackle back onto the halyard. I can then adjust boom height with the halyard.

One thing I do like about the topping lift is the ability to raise the boom high when anchored, so it clears the bimini on our 35-2. Will I lose this ability with a rigid vang? How much lift will it provide at rest? -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 7:49 AM Paul Fountain via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: When I replaced the hatches on our 33-II I reversed the mid ship hatch ….

Rick, I believe at one point I was told this would not work on Halcyon? 1982 - 37 But I would love to have the solid Vang! Maybe I need the customer bracket for clearances?

Getting rid of the verdamte topping lift is such a wonderful thing, and the Garhauer vang is such a bargain. Guido made custom brackets for the mast base and boom for each of the vangs – included in the price. The one on the 25 was bought about 1996 and the one on the 38 about 2004.
