You don't need to use a bail.
Just hook the vang shackle to the stainless steel pin in the U channel that
confines the mast.
That's the way my boat was when I got it 12 years ago.
Seems to be original and it has the advantage of being a bit more centred on
the mast than your current set-up.

Rick,
What year is your boat? Did C&C make a change at some point or was it an
option? Or based on power plant? Anyone have any ideas on the difference?

Peter,
A very good option would be install a hinged vang bracket near the bottom of
your mast. Garhauer makes these for their rigid boom vangs and will custom
make one to fit your mast. Their pricing is fairly reasonable.

+1I've had a Garhauer rigid boom vang for about 10 years. Good price for a good chunk of stainless and a worthwhile upgrade. Also gets rid of the topping lift!
Lots of good ideas here. Thanks guys.
What about through-bolting an eye pad on the mast step bracket itself? I’d have
to check the available space in there.

I'd suggest bolting it to the mast instead. Get a cast pad eye, not a two part
one. That is, not one with a flange and separate U.

Thanks Dennis
Don’t think that would work with the sail track there. I might be able to find
a d-ring that will fit in the mast track itself.

No, and I suspect that what you have is an aftermarket addition as was
suggested by another poster.
One thing about a deck stepped mast is that the force of all those stays and
shrouds makes the mast step a convenient and well fixed strong point for
securing blocks.
The brackets on your boat m
Personally, I wouldn’t suggest that. At least not if I’m picturing your
picture correct. Unless you unstep the mast, and take everything apart,
wouldn’t you have to go all the way thru the cabin? Most of us on the list
like to over drill holes in the core, and fill w/ epoxy, then drill for th
I second Dennis' suggestion to get a Garhauer rigid vang. I did - and Guido at
Garhauer had me send the profile of the mast and boom and they made pads to fit
both. Six or eight screws for each. I drilled and tapped the mast and boom and
screwed the pads in - done!

Boomkickers, in my experience installing, or helping install a few now, need
some playing in the beginning to get the right diameter rods, the correct
length, for the weight of the boom. The only time I’ve had trouble is when it
wasn’t installed correctly, by the above weight and length. Then
Actually, my suggestion was to get only the bracket and clip the rope vang to
it.
Yeah, a Garhauer rigid vang would be the absolute bomb!
As for the pad eye, look at an investment cast one like a Schaefer 78-98.
Locate it as far down the mast as possible. Drill and tap into the back

Rick's boat is number one! Early '70's. Mine is 1980 and others on the list are
late '70's up to about 1981. I am not sure if there was a factory switch or if

engine and accessories. My factory manual does not mention an

Sam, does it mention whether offset prop or not?

Ron,
What diameter line did you price? 3/8 would be plenty.
3/8 Endura braid is 3.12 a foot at APS.
I have 7/16 VPC and am happy with it. Its not the lowest stretch, but it
is a very good value.

I just got 5/16 Endura Braid (SK75 Dyneema) for my main halyard from
Defender @ $350 including splices and shackle - I have a smaller boat, but
I am happy with how its working. Jib halyards are 5/16 Ultra Tech

It's @ Block Island right?
Why wouldn't you anchor? There's
tons of room and it's a totally sheltered anchorage.

Btw - plan a swim in the freshwater pond if the weather's nice.

Interesting. And I checked mine this afternoon and the 45-degree brackets are
welded to the mast step, not a separate plate bolted to it in any manner.

Colin,
Docking is certainly not mandatory. Some of us may anchor, pick up town
moorings or dock. I'm coming in a couple of days early and will probably
only spend Friday/Saturday night at the dock.
There is a bit of a party in the bbq area by The Oar on Friday night and
it's fun to walk the dock
