Be aware that many boomkickers or rigid vangs clearly state they should not be used for supporting the boom when the boat is not in use. This means you need a topping lift or a boom crutch.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
