That would be a good option two i think. I like the idea of no becket, and threading it through the sheeve arbor, but you'd need two shackles at the vang key end to attach it which is getting a bit clumsy. The 466 is perfect fit, ready to run.Saw, try this, the Holt Allen 25mm High Tension block for the boom side of the vang, through APS is product # HA4993, and has a breaking strength of 1653 pounds, it's used in the UK a lot. I've been using it for awhile and I like it, also it does not have a becket, as the line passes through the block, its pretty sweet.
