Optiparts EX2148 - Vang Swivel for Laser® / ILCA® – Lower Vang Block Mast Connector
Optiparts EX2148 is a replacement vang swivel designed for Laser® and ILCA® dinghies, used as the articulated connector between the lower vang block and the mast-mounted vang bracket.
This swivel fitting allows controlled rotational movement of the lower vang block during sail trim adjustments, ensuring smooth alignment under changing boom angles and varying vang loads. Proper swivel action reduces twisting stress in the vang system and helps maintain efficient line movement.
Designed for precise fitment onto the Laser® / ILCA® mast vang bracket, the EX2148 supports stable and secure connection while enabling free articulation necessary for reliable kicking strap performance.
Ideal for replacing worn, seized, bent, or damaged original vang swivels during rig maintenance, vang system servicing, and spar repairs.
