The ILCA Vang has seen various different appearances over the years but we are just going to focus on the Harken and Allen Vang Base Units.
Some sailors find themselves swapping to different rigs depending on the wind conditions and sea state. Also, some sailor swap their downhaul from the port to the starboard side of the mast depending on wind conditions throughout a regatta.
The Standard Harken Vang comes with a clevis pin and rings for attachment to the lower mast. This can be very fiddly and difficult after a cold day on the water.
On the other hand, the Allen Vang unit comes standard with a nut and bolt to attach this to the lower mast This is good for security but the need for a tool to swap it onto a different-sized mast makes this difficult.
The Quick Release Package includes 3 very important items,
The 3 items work together to create a system that makes rigging a de-rigging quicker and simpler.
The 2mm Line is added to tie the push button pin to the carabiner so that when the kicker is being removed you don't lose the pin.
The Push Button pin can be stored in the vang on or off the mast just remember to rinse this after sailing on salt water.
The carabiner goes through the top clevis pin on the kicker unit. This is to attach your downhaul primary line to and can easily clip and unclip without having to remove the kicker or and clevis pins or rings
Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
Fit ok and feels well padded on sole compared to my old worn out boots
Having thoroughly enjoyed a week's training at the Lyme Regis Sea School this phrase is indelibly printed on my sub conscience (the instructors will be pleased to learn) so to have this mug to remind me each morning at breakfast is a treat.
Good quality product worn well first season.
Reliable and delivered on time as stated. Workmanship is very good and the new spinnaker works a treat. Thank you

The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!
