Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

Subject: Boom Vang Bracket
Info: (12852 views) Posted: Monday 8-26-13 08:17:42 PM
i think these are usually attached to a large bail mounted on the mast base.

check http://www.ballengerspars.com

:: Last night we were sailing and noticed that the boom
:: vang bracket that was suppose to be attached to the
:: mast, was not.
::
:: The boat has a boom kicker and there is a bracket with
:: two halves that has a plate with three holes for the
:: kicker and the purchase attachments.
::
:: It looks like there were two screws either side to
:: attach the bracket to the mast. The threads are striped.
::
:: My question is has there been a better bracket made for
:: this or I was thinking about having some extension
:: welded on to bring the bracket around the mast more.
::
:: Any thoughts? Thanks for the input
