I own a 39 Express and several years ago I purchased two vangs from
Mark Garhauer. I explained to Mark that I had installed a unique
seal around the mast {thats another story}which I did not want to
disturb with their collar. So together we designed a fitting that
attaches to the original bail on the aluminum mast collar. It works
fine, is less expensive and easy to install. Anyone interested
could contact Mark at Garhauer.

I installed a Garhauer rigid boom vang and it came without any
sort of
rubber sleeve. Thinking that some sort of sleeve would prevent
slippage
(since there’s a limit to how hard you can tighten it without
risking
crushing the mast), I used a hard rubber sleeve. The sleeve
seems
to
have moved a bit in a year, but I’m not sure if that was due to
insufficient tightening or the sleeve itself.

the collar on other Freedoms - some with brackets that run between
the mast collar seem and the mast ring deck bolt and others with
just the rubber. It would seem that aome mechanical connection to
the deck collar is recommended for these things?

The main advantage of a rigid vang is that you can discard the topping lift. In this maner the boom never drops on your head or… Also, very practical when reefing as there is no need to reset topping lift. In very light airs ( racing ) you can delete the weight of the boom .

Holds up the boom (no topping lift needed) Much more powerful than a soft vang. My Garhauer has a 20:1 ratio, while most soft vangs are 4, or occasionally 5:1 ratio. This obviously facilitates sail control over a much wider range of conditions. Also, you don’t have to leave your “jacks” rigged as a topping lift.
