CS34 Garhaurer Rigid Vang

Got the rest of the 1/4" stainless rivets to complete mounting the bracket to the mast.  The other end at the boom attached nicely to the existing rope vang tang.  Ran the line back to the cockpit.

Really like how the boom is held way above the dodger/bimini.  The topping lift is no longer required, but I will leave it in there for safety.  The one problem is that I don't have a rope clutch on the port side for BOTH the vang AND topping lift.  I think the topping lift will only be used when the boat is at rest.

The old rope vang was NOT run back to the cockpit.  Neither was the topping lift for that matter, making reefing difficult.
