Laser Vangs for club use

   Thanks for the link a seemingly good product fatally flawed! "

From the item description:
"This has been tested with the official Laser Harken XD kit fitting 
and works. The pin may not fit the Holt or Allen replica systems". May not fit, does it or doesn't it?
 Please
 note, the handle and button are made from aluminium so please wash your
 quick release pin very carefully with fresh water after sailing. Oh no!!! Not another SS and Aluminium combination to immerse in an electrolyte and watch the gas bubbles comming off. Can't they do any better? Don't these people ever think.......answer .....No they don't.

	Hi all, It's time to start thinking about new gear for next year. Our 4 boat fleet has been well used this year. We might buy enough rigs so that each of the 4 boats have a Radial and a Standard rig available, eight in total We store the rigs, battens out, sail rolled around the mast inside the club house. This means eight rigs in total. We have the money to do this it's about working out the details Booms+battens stay in the boats together with all the other parts Two of the four boats have Holt Vangs, the other two have mixture of bits Normally the Holt Vangs we use will be attached to the rig, if we go this route we will have to buy 6 more vangs. They will cost £160 each so make up a good chunk of our expenditure. Bearing in mind that these Lasers are used by fairly casual Club sailors is there foolproof way detaching the vang from the rig and leaving it in the boat, saving us some money as we would only need two vangs, to complete the set for the four boats? (This will also reduce the maintenance load).
