The mainsheet system and boom vang on a boat I have bought are missing and I would like to replace them. Does anyone have recommendations for the mainsheet blocks, boom vang and rigging both for access from the cockpit.
We have a nice selection of Garhauer, Harken, Schaefer and Lewmar blocks, a typical 4:1 purchase would be fine for that boat, that would be a fiddle block, and fiddle block with becket and cam cleat. The vang you could go down one size, and 3:1 purchase, so a single block with becket, and a fiddle/cam:
Here is the original rigging setup for the 272, I don't know the part#s though. D& R Marine is a good source for the parts and Rudy Nickerson (owner and parts expert) will know the part numbers for all. He was Parts Dept Manager at O'DAY from 1973-89.
