So, today I was helping a friend rig her 15:1 Holt vang. I have been sailing the Harken ones since 2001 so never really experienced the Holt vang.
So the question is this: is the line supposed to cross over itself as i comes down from the aft turning blocks? We noticed from the last block back up to the double becket block and then back down to the block to the cleat there was no way to avoid the line crossing. We even looked at the directions that came with the thing and it looked right.
So are we doing something wrong or is this a minor design flaw? I'm inclined to think we are doing something wrong....
