{"title":"Kicker and Vang Attachments for Dinghies","description":"\u003cp\u003eKicker and vang attachment fittings for dinghy masts and booms, mast-side strap eyes and cast eyes by section, boom-side sliding eyes, heavy-duty blocks and brackets for the boom track, the ILCA hi-load kicker bracket, plus an outhaul on\/off lever for spinnaker-equipped boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kicker or vang system needs two attachment points: one on the mast and one on the boom. This collection covers both. Mast-side fittings are section-specific. Boom-side fittings mount in the lower boom track and must carry the full compression load of the kicker system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003emast-side fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e, choose the strap eye or cast eye that matches your mast section. The strap eye for C\/D+\/E sections (508-474-01) and the strap eye for Lambda\/Kappa\/Zeta\/Cumulus\/Alto\/Epsilon sections (508-488-01) are the standard heavy-duty stainless fittings for aluminium masts. The cast eye for carbon S2\/S3 sections (508-508-30-01) is the correct fitting for those carbon spars. The U-bolt (508-478-01) passes through the mast track wall and suits installations where a track-mounted attachment point is preferred. The ILCA hi-load kicker bracket (508-404-01R) is a specific upgrade for ILCA masts developed with the class association to address fatigue and cracking at the traditional pressed fitting. The Snipe plate (508-486-01) provides extra mast stiffness at deck level for Snipe class masts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the \u003cstrong\u003eboom-side fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e, the choice is between a sliding eye and a heavy-duty block or bracket. The sliding eye (511-714-03) is the basic option, secured in the track with two clamp plates and suitable for use with high-load blocks such as the BBB25. The heavy-duty kicker block (511-664-12) replaces a sliding eye with a 25mm ball bearing sheave built into a 112mm cast stainless body. Its greater length spreads the load over more of the boom track, reducing boom bending at the attachment point. The heavy-duty kicker bracket (511-779-12) is a 150mm cast stainless bracket with smooth bearing surfaces for a shackled high-load block or a soft attach block, now fitted as standard to many new Seldén booms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in this collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMast-side fittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e strap eye for C\/D+\/E masts (508-474-01), strap eye for Lambda\/Kappa\/Zeta\/Cumulus\/Alto\/Epsilon masts (508-488-01), cast eye for carbon S2\/S3 masts (508-508-30-01), U-bolt through mast track (508-478-01), Snipe class plate (508-486-01) and ILCA hi-load kicker bracket (508-404-01R).
