My boom vang connection looks different?

The connection on the boom for the vang does not look like everybody else’s. The pin is also straight not curved.

Is it a retrofit or a really old-school design?
It it worth replacing it with a regular boom vang plate and a curved pin?

Old school design from the years 72-76, roughly. Australian boats may have had it even later, but if your hull is a ’92, I’d say the boom is from an older boat.

Definitely not worth changing. That’s one of the last places where you want extra holes!
