[quote=Andinista]Here is what I did, with two Laser boom vang blocks

It’s a continuous dyneema loop, with loops to hook the jib blocks, those go at different sides of the loop, the adjustment lines go at the same side of the loop. To make sure that both sides are at the same position, adjust them at the outmost position, both touching the block. On the picture the adjustment line starts at the same point than the attachment loop, on the other side it starts separate, on the other side of the dyneema loop.

Sorry i can’t insert the picture from my cell phone.
The only drawback of this system is that you need to adjust on both sides, to me it’s perfectly ok, I adjust it very rarely just for the conditions of the day, not much more. The barberhauler is used for specific sailing angles, that’s different, I personally haven’t really needed it so I don’t have one on my boat.<em>Edited by Andinista on Apr 15, 2022 - 01:59 PM.</em> [/quote]
