oDay 322 Boom Vang

[PatTormey]

My 322 didn't have a boom vang and seems to have very little room for one.

Following Don Guillette's advice I'd like to have better control of the shape of the Main.

Any advice in rigging a Vang?
Thanks

I have both a vang and a windward sheeting traveler on my 302. I think our boats are similar in size, so I am sure it could be done.

I threw a picture up, but please disregard the mess of lines on the mast. I had just taken the sails down for season and hadn't really cleaned stuff up.

Go online to Defender and Westmarine and check out their types and sizes of Vangs. This should help you as well. Chief

Looks like your mainsheet doesn't come to the mast before heading to the cockpit. I might be able to do that too.
Thanks

I have a rope vang on my O322. Photo is not great, but will give you an idea how it all fits.

Yep. Looks like a short vang would work. Thanks.
Good looking 322!
