Boom vang
How do you figure the working load of a boom vang? In other words I have a Starwind 22, 108 sq ft main and trying to figure out if I need to order a boom vang with a working load of 1000lbs or one for 2000lbs. I don't sail in heavy winds. Nothing over 15kts until I get more experience sailing.

Hope this is enough information as I'm not sure what else I need to post.
