Forums, Mast, Rigging and Sails, gas/sprung tubular strut kicker

My Canadian built Contessa doesn’t have a kicker/vang. I want to put that right. Any suggestions as to type, make, size/capability please?

Thanks

Eric

The standard kicker/vang fitted by Rogers is the Selden RodKicker. Many boats (including my own) have retrofitted a Rodkicker. Does the job well but to be honest I have not looked at any alternatives.

Hope this helps
