Good afternoon,
I own a 1978 Sabre 34 and last season the boom vang strap on the boom busted. The boom vang is a block/tackle type that connected to a strap on the boom and then connected to the mast collar on the deck via a shackle. In looking at the manual and on the internet, it appears that there might be a better way to connect the boom vang. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to re attach my boom vang? Should I get a bail for the mast and boom then connect the vang to that? Thanks in advance.
