Hi All
 The inside tube could be too long as it was for us I cut it 5cm and I bolted the two fittings as you can see on the two pictures.
 Worked since  perfectly for more than 12 000 NM

That's excellent but can you tell me the size of the threaded rod that you used. It seems to me it should be 15mm but I have been unable to find that as a stock size.
thanks

In fact the bolt passes through the existing tube which was cut  to fit excatly with the fitting's width. Thre are two washers and two bolts on each side.
The diameter is 14mm.

I have tried in on a H470 but it is the same in Principe

The problem is if the vang is pressed together from tension on the mainsheet

( and the vang is fully compressed) it will bend the fitting like on the picture.

Move the vang 4-5 cm more backwards on the boom so it can go further down

You can ask your rigger or Dealer for help

Thanks for this solution to the puzzel Bo, this makes sense.  I know what to check for now to see if this can happen on my boat and will try some gentle experiments with the sail down.

Yes!
But that would not save the end fittings from breaking when bent too much.

Dear Alain
Your mainsail is cut to ca 90 degres luff-foot
if you place the vang so it can go further down  ca 98 degres
You will not breake it more under sail, but take care when you
reef the sail , it can some times let the boom drop a little more.

Dear Bo,

Not sure that will avoid the end fittings to breaking in torsion if the pin is too loose!
The second point is that by moving the vang you will change the compositions of the pressure on it and you are not sure that the internal tube won't get stuck in the end fitting. That's why I did cut the tube which is more les a guide for the spring in order to avoid it.

The Same thing happened to me today with no obvious reason. I just tightened the main sheet and the boom Vang must have come to its upmost compression point. The fixture plate bend and the Vang broke off. Where can I get spare parts? Or should I look for a total replacement of The vang?

I managed to get a replacement from the Hanse people in the UK. I have had no problems since then.
