I purchased this vang. I don't see how the vang key fits into the vang key fitting on the boom - maybe i just need to try it - i can give it a try on Friday.

Thanks for your response. Great info. Much appreciated. There is no number under the bow eye that i can see. Attached is a photo with the only info i can find - a label inside the cockpit. I still don't understand what i need to do to attach to the vang key fitting on the boom. I located...

Can i change the vang hardware on my mast and boom? Does all hardware align to the same holes? Or will i need to drill new holes? Can i drill new holes leaving old holes in the mast and boom? or is there a way to fill them?

Thanks - i'm still learning the language ;-)

perfect - thanks!

I may be wrong about what i just said - should they be sheet metal screws that are sharp

Thanks for that feedback. I see that the screws used for these are not pointed, like wood screws, but flat ended, like machine screws. Even if there is wood underneath it would still need threads installed. Are there kits to do this? Or am i thinking about this incorrectly?

Here are photos. You can see the cam cleat near the cockpit. There should be a bullseye fairlead on the deck just behind the mast.

I purchased an old Laser (approx 1971). The mast head was rebuilt and the bullseye fairlead was not replaced and the screw holes are no longer there. Any info on how to install new screw holes to install the bullseye fairlead is greatly appreciated.
