I can send you a few docs off list. My PO was kind enough to
provide the Installation and Operating Guide for our boom. It is a
Beta, but from what I have seen these specs apply to both the Beta
and larger Gamma booms.
Angles are a little different for a spring loaded or the rigid screw
vangs that Schaefer sells with the boom. I have attached scans of
set up instructions for each along with their respective
templates. In either case, the ideal angle for furling is 87.5
degrees (not 87!) . The other angle relevant only to an adjustable
vang is the top range of the angle with the boom, which is 82
degrees. Higher than that is a no no.
I also have a digital copy of the sailmakers instruct tons that I had
(sorry I don't have the I&OG in digital). You can see on that the
angles of each batten and if you take into account the curve of te
leech, that angle all make sense.
Which C&C do you have and what's your set-up like?
Feel free to contact me by email or call any time. And if you learn
anything clever about these beasts, let me know.
