Barton Marine Size 5 4:1 Vang Tackle System

The Barton Marine Size 5 4:1 Vang Tackle System provides a ready-to-install boom-control purchase for sailors who want a compact vang setup. The 4:1 mechanical advantage reduces the effort needed to control boom position and leech tension. 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.

Upgrade your existing Vang system or use it as a boom preventer. Snap shackle fixings allow for quick and easy deployment. Professionally spliced and assembled. The assembled purchase is intended to simplify a vang refit by supplying the main blocks and running line as a matched group.

• Boats up to 35' (10.7 M)
• Head: Snap Shackle
• Mechanical Advantage: 4:1
• Line: 40' (12.2 M) of 3/8" (10 mm) Braided polyester line
• Safe working load: 1,650 lb (750 kg)

For the Size 5 4:1 Vang Tackle 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.
