Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

I also take the main halyard to the end of the boom. Mostly it stops the halyard slap. But it also takes the weight when I lean on the boom when putting on the sail cover. Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

Seems the reason that having a topping lift is even an issue, is that most folks don’t have it lead back to the cockpit, where they can do ‘instant’ adjustments Mine is lead forward on the boom, down and back to a camcleat in the cockpit area. I can work it as needed to adjust twist, or not, a

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

Nope not alone at all. Taking the halyard aft does 2 things. First it keeps the halyard from slapping the mast and disturbing your dock neighbors. Second it supports the boom and provides more clearance for the dodger and head room in the cockpit while in port. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

The springs in the solid vang (or hydraulic pressure, or bent fiberglass in the case of a boomkicker) supports the boom. Tensioning or easing the control line on the vang controls luff tension – easing the line induces twist. The topping lift has two main purposes: It screws up your tacks i

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

Once you install the vang on the boom with the weight of the flaked sail on it, you may find the supplied spring in the vang is either to weak, or too strong. Just call Garhauer and they will swap out the spring for whatever you need. The spring that comes with it is fine for most installations

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

I have a Garhauer power vang, and still find uses for my topping lift. It is handy to have around. I even use it to hold up the mast while removing or installing the boom and vang each fall and spring. It also hauls my long-range wifi up the backstay. :-) Bill Bina On 6/2/2017 9:42 AM, Andre

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

I use both a rigid vang and topping lift. The problem is furling the main in a seaway. When you lean on the boom for support to put sail ties on as the boat rolls and pitches, the vang won't support your weight and swings to leeward while getting lower. Even cranking on the sheet won't help. Unles

Re: Stus-List Boom Rigging

I agree with the limited value added by a topping lift. I've considered getting rid of mine. Then I realized that I tie off my mainsail sail pack to it. A topping lift also allows some control of the luff tension which can induce twist...if desired. The boat I race on has never had a topping li
