Rod is a High Performance Spring Loaded Mechanical Boom Vang
that provides boom support as well as being an excellent vang
for performance cruising and racing. It is available
in three sizes and incorporates a built in cable system that
provides a 2:1 mechanical advantage, thus doubling the effect
of the block & tackle which attaches to the vang.
The Yacht Rod is manufactured from hard anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel. The tubing is white coated anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and electro polished 316 stainless steel. It incorporates precision machined 6061-76 aluminum clevis ends, sheaves and Nylatron bearings. The internal spring - rated for over 1 million compressions- is precipitation hardened stainless steel and incorporates a fast-pin adjustment. Check out these benefits:
The Yacht Rod, attachment fittings and tackle may be purchased separately or in complete packages as shown in the tables below. Important installation information is shown at the bottom of this page. Caution: Yacht Rod cannot be installed on rotating booms (booms with swivel gooseneck mast attachment). Over-sheeting or leaning heavily on the aft end of the boom can bend the boom or the Yacht Rod. The main halyard shackle can be snapped to the outboard boom end, in port, to prevent damage to the Yacht Rod. |
