The Allen Vang King is a telescopic gas strut, designed to be used as a boom support system and combined with a purchase system to create the Vang control.
The Vang King features a plain bearing 37.8mm sheave in the top end of the strut which has been specifically designed to take the load required on yachts up to 26ft.
At the base of the Vang King is our unique attachment post. It has three holes which are reinforced with stainless-steel ferrules. These holes can be used to dead-end rope or shackle blocks too.
The gas strut can be adjusted to reduce the return pressure. Simply remove the screws holding the base plug in position and then remove the plug. Using an Allen key open the grub screw to allow the pressure to reduce.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a one-way process. You cannot reinflate the strut.
Also known as a Boom strut, Vang Strut, Vang Ram and Boom Support.
Does not include blocks or rope.
