Sailboat boom holder w/ boom vang

thingiverse

This is a low-friction adapter for a 10mm boom for a sailboat with boom vang. Boom vang is an important mechanism of sail shaping. You can read more about boom vang here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_vang. Print all stl in one piece, but print two of "boom vang mast adapter". You will also need 3-4cm M3 threaded rod, 8cm M3 threaded rod and 6x M3 16mm bolts. I recommend using INOX at least A2 if not A4 quality. You also need 9 M3 nuts. More detailed instructions and better file naming is comming. Also I will try to reduce the need for the threaded rod and to reduce the number of bolts (consequently the mass). Feel free to print, modify and share. Or if you don't have solidworks contact me... All the solidworks files are included if you needed to change something
