Chuck,
I installed a Garhauer RV20-1SL several years ago now. I have an Offshore rig
so the mast and boom already had the needed brackets for mounting. You will
want to ask for the strong springs (yellow) when you order it. There are three.
Great van for main trimming. I lead it back to the cockpit. You will find even
with the strong springs the boom will be some what springy, so you will
probably want to keep your topping lift, or put the main halyard on the boom
when you put the boat away for the day. It will support the boom when I drop
the main, but again a little spongy. I have a topping lift lead back to the
cockpit, and leave it a little slack when sailing, and tighten it up after the
main is down. I hopes this helps.

Subject: Stus-List Boom vanging...
Here's another post to get some experience-based advising. I am looking to
purchase a rigid boom vang to replace the topping lift (damn thang) which is
always in the way of everything. I will also replace the blocks/line I have
as manual vang. Tangs are built-in on the boom and mast base. I don't want
hydraulics, but wonder who can recommend which vang/size and other
considerations (vendor, etc) based on your purchase/use of them.
There is Forespar, Garhauer, Boomkicker, etc. Some are less expensive but
appear the same. Thoughts?
