Default garhauer rigid vang and topping lift

I read all the comments and agree, but nobody mentioned that the garhauer vang is spring loaded. I have one on my Crealock 34. I tried removing the topping lift, but when trying to reef with my body partially hanging over the boom I was almost launched into space by the spring unloading. Keep the topping lift. If your worried about weight use a UHMWPE braid instead of what you have now.
