No it doesn't Al. You can't connect the boom vang when the top is up. Unless you sail headsail only.

We sail ours with the top up frequently. A boom vang is not always required for pleasure sailing, and I rarely install it. However I would not sail with the top up if it is windy and/or rough. That little bolt and wingnut are the only things holding that thing up.

Well that's interesting. I guess if you're sheeted in fairly tight you could do that. I'm going to have to try it.

How do you attach the pop top to the mast? Our boat's PO had installed a screw bent into a U with a bolt on one end and a gizmo ob the other the fit into the mast's channel. Unfortunately the screw had been ground down to fit and broke off this year. Can the top be tied to the mast or attached to the boom somehow?
