[C38] Missing Boom Vang?

[Robert Miller]

Hi, Joey.  If you have neither a rope and block or a rigid vang, you need
one.  By the way, congratulations on your purchase of #112.  I own #113 in
San Diego.  I think the rigid vangs are better although I have the rope and
blocks type.  It's especially handy when sailing downwind where you can
attach it to the toe rail.

Subject: [C38] Missing Boom Vang?

 

Hello,

I just recently purchased a C-38 (hull #112) and after looking around at
some pics of other boats, realized that mine isn't rigged with a boom vang.
Attached is the mainsheet system that is being used, which seems less than
standard for our 38s.  Does this mainsheet system work as a combined boom
vang and mainsheet, or am I straight up missing a boom vang?  I was hoping I
could get some advice from you folks on whether my current mainsheet system
is sufficient and how I should rig a boom vang.


Cheers,
Joey Baker
