In another thread which I did not want to hijack the following was posted by @rgranger
“This is the one I have on my H26. Very important when sailing down wind to have some tension on the vang. I loosen mine when working to windward.”
My question is which block do you put nearest to the boom?
I have the controlling block (someone feel free to help me with the nautical terms) at the boom. The problem with this setup is that you have to go forward of the attachment point in order to adjust the Vang.
I originally thought it went the other way, but then, I couldn’t get the line to catch with the hatch closed. I’m shopping for a new Vang that would be similar to the main sheet controls, but thought, maybe I just don’t know how to use this one correctly or have it installed wrong.
