A850 Hydraulic Vang Cylinder

Navtec’s Series 850 Vang features an extra-large piston rod to resist buckling with no tackle to clutter the deck layout. It also provides boom lift in light airs and acts as a topping lift when the sail is flaked.  The A850 can be integrated with an A440 Push Button Quick Release Valve, providing the ability to instantaneously dump the Vang when required. All Vangs are semi-custom, made to a specific Length. PCLC is the Length between Pin Centers, when Closed. This Length must be specified when ordering. Maximum and Minimum PCLC Lengths are listed below.

-PI Position-Indicating Vang Option – Electrical

Originally developed for Superyachts, this unique feature is now available on all Navtec Vangs down to -22. The position indicating unit is essential for achieving the correct angle for the new furling booms that have become common on boats from 50 feet and up. The Position Indicating Vang can be interfaced with most marine electronics.

A850 Hydraulic Super Yacht Vang (Push-Pull Alloy)

The Navtec Alloy Hydraulic Superyacht Push-Pull Vang features a coaxial feed through the rod so both the push and pull hydraulic connections are located on the oil jaw. In addition, the A850 Vang can be equipped with a position indication function (detailed above), to insure that the correct angle for the furling boom is achieved.
