They’re really cool boats! I’ve never felt the need to add a vang, but one could. I suppose one problem would be some geometry to either get a vang to affix to the mast at an angle sufficient to provide some benefit, or to put a chain plate somewhere in the cockpit but risk cluttering it and the companionway. For a max hull speed of about 5.7kts I’m not sure it’s worth the fuss.
The vic 18s are so elegant. Do folk ever add a boom vang?
