Our Rigid Vangs/Hard Vangs are made using a Single AISI 330 Stainless Steel Spring for compression. This type of mechanism has proven to be more effective and trouble free over multiple spring systems. The rigid vang replaces the need for a topping lift and fives you the option of increasing the roach on the Main for better up-wind performance, less wear and tear on the leech edge of the main, and with increased sail area, better off wind and down wind drive.
