On my, new to me, Ericson 35-2 there is no boom vang and no adjustable cunningham. I have a new mainsheet and block system on order (gross trim, fine trim), which I plan to replace the old with and use as my boom vang (4:1). I'm wondering why the boom isn't able to lock at a specific height. There is evidence it once did as the track has holes for a pin to seat in and there's a mysteriously empty square on the gooseneck. If I were to buy block systems for a boom vang or cunningham what is the proper ratio for this size boat? Is 4:1 enough?
