>Boom Vang Kit "for boats under 22 feet"

Looks fine. Actually, it looks similar to a Laser boom vang, and the Laser
is a 76 Sq ft sail which sounds about the same as the M-15 main.

But... It also looks like it jams the line using the same V-shaped slot that
is a PITA on the Laser (chews up the line but is guaranteed to let it go
when your back is turned). I made a vang from components, and it certainly
didn't cost me any more than $73.30. The block that I used has a cam cleat
for the line, which is Much Nicer than that horrid V-slot. Have a look in
Boat/West (or is that US Marine) and you should be able to put together
exactly what you want.
