My Sparcraft Vang (‭37560020505‬) is broken.
I think it's time for a new one.
Can someone recommend me an alternative?

Best,
Elvio

Seldon makes a nice (and expensive one).

what is broken? I rebuilt a Selden recently to replace the gas spring inside.

I see a bad rope…what else is broken?

I got this diagram from Sparcraft.
Item #1 is broken. The plastic is completely torn.
I am currently concerned that has damaged the surrounding areas as well.

I see it now…yes, that looks problematic.

As someone mentioned, Garhauer s a good source, and cheaper than Seldon.

Just buy the parts . What year is the boat ? It lasted this long. Zspar (France ) did supply many Beneteau's , in US (US spars) thats what mine is and no plastic much heavier duty and their parts are reasonable

True, IF the parts are available, replacing those end caps (I would do both ends) would not be too bad…and a lot cheaper.

2 rivets on each end, and you are done.

That vang appears to be spring loaded. The Seldon unit uses a gas spring…which will lose its charge at some point.
