It's not a requirement to have a vang, but it helps to control the boom off the wind in heavier air or bouncy seas. I am planning to install a boomkicker and an 4:1 vang and a single cascade for a 8:1 total purchase. I have seen the 4:1 premade vangs on ebay for about $100. You still need a bail on the boom to attach it if there isn't one as well as an attachment ring on the base of the mast.
