The boat had come with a 4:1 40 mm Harken fiddle block set up for the vang. After many discussion posts last winter on both increasing purchase and having the vang cleat at the boom end rather than the mast end. I went with a 6:1 set up using Harken 29 mm Carbo-Air triple blocks (part # 2641 and # 2647) and used 1/4" sta-set line. Was happy that the it was easier for crew to make adjustments since cleat was at boom end and “cleats up”, but found that sometimes the vang line “fell out” of the cam cleat since the cam is facing down.
This summer still need to tweak the vang, maybe either flipping the the upper block around, re- reeve that block so cam faces up, or maybe just getting a micro cam fairlead over the cam on the top block that will help hold the vang line in place. May also add another set of blocks to double the purchase to 12:1
Thanks for everyone's thoughts and comments.
