Standard Sizes -
See next page for popular production boat applications.
Vang-Master rigid vangs are available for boats with vang fittings on the boom and mast partner. If your boat is not equipped with vang fittings on mast
and boom, or if fitting width or pin diameter will not fit jaw and pin sizes listed in the chart below, contact Harken for information.
Vang sizing
Vang-Master sizes are based on boat size and PCLC (pin center length closed).
PCLC - measure the distance between vang pins with boom pulled down.
PCLO (pin center length open) - Push boom up to the maximum desired height and measure the distance between vang pins.
Select size that fits your range from chart below
