    E38 Boom Vang question

    The Boom Vang on my E38 is rigged with both ends of the line leading aft through clutches on either side of the companionway. Making it adjustable from either side:confused: Why would this be? is this normal? Thankyou in advance to anyone who can clear this up for me!
