I need to replace the vang on my M15. Does anyone have a recommendation. thanks Randy Watkins btw: A friend of mine is selling his classic 1970 Potter 14. It has the wood spar and boom and in overall good condition. He's asking around $2k with the o/b ( Seagull ) or $1600 w/o. He lives in Houston, Tx. if anyone is interested his email is: "Luce, Matt" <matt.luce@mustangeng.com> REgards, Randy W. M15#194
Randy, I ordered boom vang parts from West Marine, using upper and lower blocks designed for a Lazer. I was able to get the T-notch boom plate directly from a Lazer distributor. Works great! Joe Kidd M15 #207 "Poco A Poco"
On the coat-tails of this inquiry about a vang to keep the boom "down", does anyone out there use anything akin to a topping lift when they need to keep the boom "up"? Has anyone considered using a "boomkicker" (flexible fiberglass wand designed to keep the boom horizontal at all times)?

I have a topping lift that is a line from the base of the mast (jam cleat) to a block at the top of the mast and then down to the eye at the sft end of the boom. I only use it till the main goes up and then it remains slack. Dan M17 316B Honshells wrote:
