Second posting tonight, but important enough (I think) to post a seperate item about the curved vang key.
My son checked his boat last Sunday before all gear is up for transport to Hyères for the Europa Cup next week. I think he never checks the state of the tiny curved vang. But this time he did! The key was hardly 'alive' anymore! The 'hat' on top of the curved part was almost torn off. Only visible when he turned the key upside down for a look. Two small crack on both sides of the curved part. More than 50% was 'gone'.
A quick online order solved the problem. The new one is thicker. Which is encouraging, but still has the same construction of 'hat' and curved part.
Perhaps worth checking your boat's curved vang key?
