Boom Vang Setup

Bob,
Mike helped me out on a vang set up, as well. Use a Thistle 360° swivel cam cleat. You can get them from APS. Scroll to the bottom of this page http://www.apsltd.com/c-2021-thistlehar ... tings.aspx . Mount it on the centerboard trunk just in front of the main sheet swivel. A cheek block on the keelson below the through deck block just behind the mast, take that back to another cheek block under the swivel cleat and everything’s nice and neat.
A couple of visual aids from Mike, this is how he set his up.
