mitiempo will become famous soon enough
Garhauer is solid and probable the most affordable of the serious solid vangs. I have one I will be installing soon.

Third the Garhauer recommendation. You do have to make a wire profile of the mast and boom for them though...but they're definitely the best for the buck.

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.
