I would really like to get some opinions on rigging a vang for the sunfish. Okay so I don't have a mast cleat but I'm hoping to get one soon ! So can someone recommend how I should rig a vang using the sail hoisting halyard ? I usually bring it to the deck and pass it through the fair lead then tie off to the mast cleat. Now where do I go from there ? I'm grateful for any info given
Oh and one more thing a small cleat and two self tapping screws should hold the mast cleat in place right ?
I use a small plastic cleat with stainless screws, drill pilot holes and put a drop of 5200 on the threads. I unexpectedly tested it in 36 knot winds and it held fine.
To tie in a vang, use the extra halyard from the deck cleat, back through the deck fairlead, up over the gooseneck and back through the fairlead, tie off at the deck cleat.
