Description

Harken XD control systems – Vang (with 18mm “Carbo” block)

This is essentially the vang system supplied on XD boats & in XD equipment packs from 2007 when the XD (Extra Dimension) equipment level was “refreshed” following the introduction of the “Carbo” range of blocks. They do not appreciably change the effectiveness of the XD systems being efficient, reliable & durable although they are slightly lighter they are also somewhat less robust & slightly more expensive. The XD vang  systems, with either the 16mm or 18mm block, are by far the most widely used systems & they remain the bench mark by which other systems are judged.

ILCAdirect has retained the Harken XD “Carbo” Vang system (with 18mm “Carbo” double block) because it continues to be popular.

ILCAdirect offers the XD vang with 18mm double “Carbo” block in either:

1) Kit form – parts & lines only:
Comprising Harken vang lower assembly, Harken vang upper assembly (Block, key & bolt), Harken “Carbo” 18mm double, 1.5m 3mm D12 Dynema, 4.5m 4mm Dinghy Control line, Shock cord (for upper assembly retention loop).

2) Complete – parts as above with “Prepared” lines:
Prepared primary line – Spliced Dynema D12. (Spliced primaries are the most effective securing method. The primary line is spliced through the hub of the secondary block with the second eye sized to allow the secondary block, with secondary line attached, to be “looped” on & off the upper assembly block making for a quick & easy line change.)
Prepared secondary line – Knotted 4mm Dinghy Control (DC) or 4mm Continuous Control (CC). (Knotted secondaries are the most effective securing method whilst also allowing for a relatively quick & easy line change.)
