Harken is now collaborating with Marine Products Engineering to offer Vang-Master rigid pneumatic boom vangs. Vang-Master boom vangs use air pressure to provide extension force to hold the boom up, without the need for metal springs. This reduces parts and weight while keeping operation squeak free, providing an infinitely adjustable, turnkey solution for maintaining optimal mainsail shape. Construction is hardcoat-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, making them light and strong. Tubing and end fittings are threaded together eliminating fasteners and dissimilar metals to reduce corrosion.
Harken Vang-Masters are designed to be easy to install. Options available are external purchase systems that feature Harken hardware exclusively. They come pre-measured, spliced, and finished with lines specifically-selected for the application.
Harken distribution makes the vangs easy to obtain, while offering fast turnaround on spare parts and technical service.
Vang-Masters are available in eight standard sizes for boats 5-17 m (18-56 ft). Stainless steel mast and boom fitting and custom lengths are also available. Contact Harken for a price and lead time.
