This requires some fairly rugged fittings on both boom and mast but the vang tacks and jibes automatically with no intervention needed. When a preventer is needed, the best bet is a snatch block at the rail near the shrouds or a bit forward, leading a line back to a cockpit winch where it can be released and adjusted quickly.
