RE: M_Boats: $.02 about boom vang

[Thomas Howe]

The one on Osprey II seems to be a purpose built one. It's 3/8" line, on wire pennants, with clip shackles on either end. The cleat is the dreaded v notch one. It works great!

I highly recommend one.   --- Thomas Howe --- Real Estate questions?  Here's Howe! --- Your Link To Homes In Lawrence, Kansas --- Reece and Nichols.
