Add a Purchase to any Outhaul system

Note that adding this purchase will reduce your outhaul range.

Inhaul (See “Lever Bar Vang” diagram)

Make sure you can pull it all the way and ease it off.

Luther recommends running the line out of the block, around the front of the mast
and tied off on the other side to pull the sail forward rather than down.

The Inhaul is led inside the Boom gooseneck and a Vang block up through a small
block attached to the gooseneck plate, through the sail grommet and tied off to a
bent shackle bolted to the gooseneck plate.

 

Cunningham (See “Lever Bar Vang” diagram)

Make sure you can pull it all the way on (grommet to the boom if necessary!) and
ease it completely off.

The Cunningham is led outside the Boom gooseneck and Vang blocks through the
pad eye welded on the gooseneck, through the sail grommet and tied off to the
opposite pad eye.

 

Boom Vang

When your Vang is all the way on it should pull the end of the boom down about 3
inches past 90 º as referenced from the mast. You need a lot of Vang to be fast on
those breezy reaches!

The maximum “Vang off” position is when the end of the boom can be lifted
approximately 1.5 feet off the transom. This can be adjusted to your height.

Always check over your Vang system for wear before sailing as it takes a lot of load.
Broken Vangs are almost impossible to fix on the water.
