In Response To: Installation of a rigid boom vang? (Satori)

Actually, if someone releases the line accidentally, the vang pushes the boom up, tensioning the line pulls the boom down. The cockpit occupants are safe, and the system is great - allowing wide ranging adjustment.
There are some "gotchas" I have experienced from an installation done by the PO. I have to raise and lower the mast annually. The mounting would not be so problematic, otherwise. I will see if I have a couple of photographs as the basis of describing the problems to you.
