Description

ILCA – Toggle pin for attachment of Harken composite vang lower assembly to mast

Harken composite lower assembly – introduced February 2026 & easily recognised by its black colour.

Harken stainless steel lower assembly – pre February 2026 & easily recognised by its stainless steel structure.

This spring loaded “toggle” or “drop nosed” quick release pin allows:

1) The vang system to be easily & quickly switched between rigs.

2) The vang system to be easily & quickly removed for safe keeping.

NB This is not suitable for the older Harken lower vang assembly of stainless stell construction which because of its thinner side plates requires the shorter toggle pin.
For this earlier Harken Lower vang assembly see “Toggle pin for vang lower assembly to mast”.
