We're looking at making vang adjustments easier.
Currently we have the original layout with the cam block at the boom. It's pretty tough to tension for heavy air. I could just put the cam block end at the mast, but looks like it would be too close to the cabin top to release easily.
Would you run it back to a single clutch? We've got room on the port side, but running a rig with both ends to clutches on both sides of the cabin top may get crowded.
Who's got the "sleek" solution?

We have a double ended fine tune that runs through two blocks secured to the base of the mast-line feeds out to cam cleats mounted by the front of the handrails on port and starboard. This allows for easy adjustment under load by crew sitting on the rail.

We have a single ended vang run back to the cockpit. Works well, but double ended would be even slicker.
