On my 30-1, I have done the following:
A Garhauer solid vang assembly – the adjustment line goes to a block at the base of the mast, centered at the aft of the mast partners, then to a fairlead attached to the companionway hood and to a rope clutch (the inner slot of a quad) at the port side of the companionway. On the port side of the mast, I have an external spinnaker halyard which goes through a block attached to the partner ring, then to a triple line organizer then back to the outer slot of the quad. Next are the two jib halyards which exit the side of the mast and go to blocks on the ring, through the organizer and then to the middle two slots in the quad. An Anderson winch is centered toward the left side of the quad to give the two jib halyards the best angle toward the winch. On the starboard side, I have the main halyard as the inner line through a double line deck organizer to a Garhauer rope clutch (the triple wasn’t strong enough to hold it tightly). The pole topping lift goes through a block at the base of the mast and then to the outer slot in the organizer and to the inner slot in a double line clutch, next to the single Garhauer. The pole downhaul goes through a block in the center of the foredeck, then through two fairleads on the cabin side to the outer slot in the double. There is another Anderson winch on that side. This works well for shorthanded racing (the outhaul and reef lines are on the side of the boom with a little winch) and cruising. With larger crew and someone wanting to be attached to each line, it gets busy in the cockpit – I could have left the pole lift and downhaul on the mast with a small winch.

If anyone has time and inclination I’d love to see any examples of your running rigging, especially anything where you’re running reefing lines or topping lifts from the boom back to the mast and aft to the cockpit. Charlie I like your idea of running low-load lines to the hatch cover assembly, I’ll look into that feasibility. Dennis thanks for the insight about winch placement, we’re definitely going to be taking that into consideration. Whomever noticed was right, we currently don’t have a vang setup. It’s on the list. -- Andrew Means S.V. Safari Seattle, WA On March 24, 2016 at 9:08:40 AM, Dennis C. via CnC-List (cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> ) wrote: Charlie, I agree. I also have two Spinlock Cam Cleats inboard of my rope clutches for the Cunningham and outhaul, two low load lines. http://www.apsltd.com/hardware/cleats-clutches/cam-cleats-accessories/spinlock-cam-cleats-accessories.html These are really nice but one tip. If they aren't very near the bulkhead, you need to elevate them a bit. The line needs to be pulled slightly downward to cleat it. If they are too far forward, you can't get the downward angle to get them to cleat. Mine are on StarBoard pads. Also, I use one for my clew reefing line. It's on the side of the boom. Very easy to yank the reefing line and cleat it. Also very easy to shake out the reef. As I said in an earlier post, I don't like these for a vang. They sometimes don't release quickly under load and can re-cleat when you don't want. Otherwise, I like them. Dennis C.

This reduces the need for using winches or rope clutches on any of them and puts them in the control of the pit for racing. Of course, it does require some additional purchase on these lines (except for the topping lift) but this purchase can be rigged forward of these cleats (mast for Cunningham, inside boom for outhaul). Most vangs already have plenty of purchase built in. This reduced the need for my cabin top winches so that I can do with only 2 (of the original 4) for the halyards (main, jib, spin port and starboard and the all important center board pennant-which has a 3-1 purchase built in.
