Vang Purchase Plate

From our estimates, at least 90% of Boomkicker customers
do not increase the purchase of their vang. If the vang was
easy enough to pull before installing the Boomkicker, it’s
usually fine after. However for customers looking to get more
power out of the vang, purchase plates are a relatively easy
and affordable way to double the power without buying a
whole new block and tackle system. No drilling required. Two
sizes available with thick aluminum plates to spread the load evenly over the shackle pins.
Harken and Wichard shackles standard.

To double an existing multi-purchase vang, you’ll
need the purchase plate, a single block for the
boom and a cascade line or wire. The puchase
plates come standard with a straight D shackle for
the mast attachment, but twist shackles are
available if needed for orientation. Specify when
ordering. The cascade line should be a high tech
low stretch line, or wire. The single for the boom
needs to be designed for the load and either the
line or wire.
