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!
I just bought an E38 in San Diego as well and had a similar experience with some of the same people. My broker was Bob Bryan from California yacht sales, the boat was listed with Yachtfinders /Ron Gullan and my surveyor was Mike Herlihy too. They all were great to work with. Bob I’ve known for a...

thanks for helping footrope. it happens underway (power or sail) at any speed. i notice it most when dealing with a constant swell or the wake of a power boat. 4-6 shudders (vibrations ) in a second. the faster I turn the wheel the more likely it will happen. turning the wheel from say 1 oclock...
