Curtis,
The hook is nice to have, not need to have. I don't have one. I simply have one
line attached to the mast side (lower than the boom). The line then goes up
through the cunningham grommet, down on the other side to a block located at
mast base and then back to the cockpit to a winch throu
Antoine, it's called a "flattening reef" in English - exactly what you
described.
I first got my main without a Cunningham crinkle but had one added a couple of
years back - much easier to fine tune luff tension / draft and much quicker
than the halyard on a winch.

Hi David,
To answer your question, we need to go back a bit to the origin the cunningham.
Well, the main sail is up and properly tensioned, which mean that the halyard
point is close to the mast top block to use the full length of your mast. Wind
is light, not too much tension is needed on the
I prefer a Cunningham for a couple of reasons:
It is easy to adjust when lead to the cockpit, so you tend to use it more than
halyard tension. If crewed, the main trimmer can do it as part of his job. If
short handed it is just easier than messing with halyards.
It is usually a multipart

Yes, my mainsail has a cringle for the Cunningham. A sailmaker can easily add
one to your sail for less than $75. They have to build up and re-enforce the
area and add a SS cringle.
I have a SS hook on the end of a purchase that is terminated to the mast
collar. The 1/4" tail runs aft through
Touche' has a 4:1 cunningham which hooks into a grommet. We also use the
cunningham for the reef.

Yes, those two innocent little hooks counter the upward pull of the halyards so
that there is no net force lifting up on the deck! I just realized that myself

I have a line running through the grommet, giving theoretical 2:1, which is
cascaded to a 3:1 at the mast base. I use 1/4" line for the control since
there's so little load on it, it runs to a cleat on the cabin top at the
cockpit.

My sailmakers opinion is that pulling the sail down is counter intuitive to
getting more power aloft. That being said I have a 4:1 block and tackel
coumpounded to a 2:1 for an equivalent 8:1. I can unhook the block and
reattach it to the "dog bones at either of the reef points and have a 4:1

I wonder if there is a tuning guide for the C&C 30 Mark 1, or perhaps one or
