Thanks gentlemen. Brad - I take it that the mechanical advantage from this simple cunning-ham arrangement is satisfactory for you? Unsurprisingly, the sail hardware catalogs imply that a fancy multipart tackle is appropriate, even on a dinghy.

My Cunningham is knotted at the first fairlead, runs up through the cringle in the main and back down through the other fairlead, through a change of direction and back through one of the clutches. Should give you a rough 2 to 1 mechanical advantage on the Cunningham line. I do not have the cleat on the bottom of the boom.

The cleat below the boom was likely for outhaul or cheezy lazy-jacks gear. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 09:39 AM 23/10/2016, you wrote:
