Re: Stus-List 33-2 rig inspection - what the heck are these bits used for? Cunningham.

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 33-2 has the same bracket on the mast. 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.

Hi Dave,

The fittings below the gooseneck look like excellent candidates for
cunning-ham (spelling check mod, kinda cute) leads.

The cleat below the boom was likely for outhaul or cheezy lazy-jacks gear.

 Cheers, Russ

Hi All,

Am methodically documenting my rig for my upcoming mainsail

minor troubles that might be of interest to others.
