Solid Boom Vang

[Robert Dean]

Looking for a recommendation for a solid boom vang for a Hunter Legend 35.I have been doing quite a bit of racing and it appears that a good boom vang is needed.I have a block and tackle system now but a stronger solid tube appears to be a better system.

The Boomkicker is a well made, inexpesive solution. They're easy to install, and don't require any modification to your existing sytem. The model 1500 for your boat (the largest size) would cost less than $300. regards, Mark

I also have a Boomkicker on my 35.5. Had it for about 5 years now and wouldn't trade it for anything. Never have to leave the cockpit when reefing. The guy that owns the company is I think in Chicago and is great to work with.

Robert, I have had a boomkicker for about four years now. Without one, you have to go to the mast in order to reef the main sail. If I really need to reef, the one thing I don't want to be doing is to get out of the cockpit. I also got tired of hitting the bimini with the boom when I drop the sail.
