Hello all, with gratitude to this fine forum: we've just acquired the subject boat but it is missing the rigging/attachment for the boom vang at the mast. Can anyone share photos of their boom vang, especially the mast attachment and perhaps how the line is routed back to the cockpit?

Thanks!

On the '85 H-34, the vang lower multi-block is shackled to a fixture on the mast base.. From there , it runs to a "deck organizer" (multi sheave) then back to the cockpit.. Picture attached is not very good but you can see the fiddle block shackled to the mast base

Do you have any idea who manufactured your vang. Not Hunter... but the company that made the Vang. Sailboat builders, especially at the production level, do not build most of their parts. There are lots of marine hardware builders out there to fill that need.

The mast end of any rigid vang must have a swivel as part of the attachment plate. If you don't know the make, can you please post a picture of the vang unit and the mast end that needs the bracket.... Someone here will recognize it and that will lead to a proper solution to getting your vang operational. Good Luck.

I have a different boat…an O’Day 322.

A few years ago, I replaced my vang with a rigid vang Seldon). I can’t find a photo of the original set up, but it isn’t hard to imagine where it would go.

The Seldon rigid vang serves 2 purposes…1) to act as a bang and hold the boom down and 2) to support the boom and eliminate the need for a topping lift.

You can see that my Seldon vang also has a rope vang, but it is incorporated into the structure of the boom support

The original rope vang attached to a hard point at the base of the mast, and connected to a shackle on the boom (near where my new Seldon vang is connected. My rope vang also was routed back to the cockpit via a turning block and a rope clutch on the cabin top.

Photos of your existing boom and mast base may help us help you.

The vang set up for my ‘82 H30 is similar to Tally Ho, but with a Garhauer rigid vang and the raised mast base found on some of the Cherubini Hunters. All control lines go through deck organizers and back to the cockpit.

The original vang trim line never went back to the cockpit. I can send photos but, need to wait till cover comes off..
I have this boat and it is 99.9% original so any pics you need just let me know.

I uncover it next week.

Will get vang pics and brand
