Interesting question, I just finished putting a vang on my 35-1. After
much internal debate, and talking to Garhauer from whom I got the
fittings, I went with tapped holes/screw, though drilling 8 holes in my
mast and 6 in my boom wasn't the most comforting thing to do. My only
logic was if the screws rip out, I can always enlarge the holes to take
rivets....

For what it's worth, my Garhauer rigid vang (not hydraulic) on my 30-1
fastens to the mast and boom with screws - six or eight screws per
base plate. I had to use very specific sizes of drill bits and thread
taps matching the fat deep-threaded screws Garhauer sent me. It's a
solid installation and has withstood gusts nearing 40 knots multiple
times these last two years. Is tapping and screwing an option for
fastening your vang?

I'm guessing they were aluminum rivets. "Every high load" rivet I
installed in a mast was stainless coated with TefGel.
However, to install larger stainless rivets, you need a BIG rivet tool
like a Marson Big Daddy. They run about $150.
If it were me, I'd punch out the old rivets and reinstall with
stainless. Is there a rental shop around where you can rent a Big Daddy?

During my recent "race" in the Lake Ontario 300 (actually the
shorter scotch bonnet race) my hydraulic boom bang broke off at
the base of the mast. The rivets appear to have sheared off.
I have the local boat repair company taking a look, but t I am
curious if anyone has suggestions?
