Activate your Vang
Parts required:
Rope: 5 metres of 4mm diameter
A Swivel to connect Vang cleat to mast tang. The
maximum size allowed is 80mm when measured under tension.
Blocks: Two (2) Harken Micro blocks, sheave size
22mm, are recommended.
One(1) double and one (1) single
One shackle to fit the double block and be narrow enough to take
only the vang key.
If you plan to develop to the complete XD system over time, buy
blocks with beckets as they can be used with the XD vang cleat
system.
The classic vang has two blocks. The vang cleat block that traps the
rope and the vang key block that provides the connection to the
boom. Some boats will have the key fitted to the vang cleat block.
If this is the case change it so that the vang cleat block can be
attached to the mast vang using the swivel. Discard the other block
but retain the key which fits into the guide on the boom.
Rig so that it looks like this:
