Barton Marine Size 3 Snap-Shackle Vang System

The Barton Marine Size 3 Snap-Shackle Vang System provides a ready-to-install boom-control purchase for sailors who want a compact vang setup. The assembled tackle gives the crew a straightforward way to control boom position and sail shape. Snap-shackle or swivel-head hardware, where specified for this model, makes the system quick to rig and remove when needed. Barton Marine supplies these systems professionally assembled so the major purchase components work together as a matched set.

The system uses a snap-shackle head so it can be connected or removed without a permanent fixed pin at that end. A 24 ft control line is supplied with the vang, providing the running length needed for the purchase arrangement. The compact system is suited to sailors replacing a worn vang or assembling a straightforward boom-control setup from matched hardware.

• Snap Shackle Head
• 24' Line
• Preassembled purchase saves time during a refit
• Designed for boom control and preventer-style use where appropriate

For the Size 3 Snap-Shackle Vang System, match the system to the boat size and working load shown for the model, then keep the purchase line fair through every block before loading it. The preassembled tackle is especially useful for a refit where the goal is to add mechanical advantage without designing a vang from separate components.
