Originally posted by Paul B: What's the best solid vang, in terms of price/performance, for a J30. I see Hall Spar, Forespar, and Spinlock as the most common manufacturers, but prices and features vary. Any info on best model number will be helpful. Paul, we installed a "Boomkicker" last season on Ricochet and found it to be simple and effective. It uses the existing boom vang, but eliminates the boom topping lift and allows you to lift the boom in light air to get more draft in the main. We noted that this solid vang (others may also) puts additional stress at the boom gooseneck fitting and may require some reinforcement or at least more loctite on the screws there. Hope this helps, Bob Cox

Ditto on the Boomkicker - we have had ours for 2 seasons and like it a lot. John in Halifax Originally posted by Paul B: What's the best solid vang, in terms of price/performance, for a J30.
