Ray & others
Here is the boom vang information for a 25D.
Mast Bail part 90-07, mast fastener 3/8x4 1/4 HXHD.
Boom Bail 90-10 (West Marine 129635 I think) as the one furnished by Rig Rite was very small, and didnt match the ones applied by Spartan. It was a 1/4" bail, and I wanted a 3/8". the one sold by WM is a tight fit but works.
Boom fastener 3/8x3 HXHD.
Placement: Mast Bail is 6" above the deck. I wish I had lowered mine two inches or so, but the Spartan instructions say 6" and it looks high to me, but then what do I know?
Boom Bail is 3' 5" aft of the goose neck. Measure from the juncture of the boom and the cast fitting for the goose neck.
These instruction are from the Spartan Instructions for installing a boom vang on Cape Dory Boats. The instructions include most, but not all CD. If any one would line a copy I'll be glad to send you one. I wonder if they could be posted on this site to save others from searching. I have a scanner. What do you think Walt?
