Both depower the main Does the adjustable baby stay (mast bend) make the
Cunningham (luff tension) redundant?
I have an adjustable baby stay, is adding a Cunningham a waste of time?
Thanks , Dave

They both help to flatten the main in heavy wind but they do it
differently. Kinda like saying, "Since I have a belt I don't need
suspenders."

Cunningham does flatten the sail
There is a difference between the amount of max draft and the location of
max draft.
Mast bend affects the amount of maximum draft. Luff tension or cunningham
affects the location of maximum draft.
For a headsail, headstay sag affects the amount of maximum draft. Halyard
tension affects the loc

Ultimately, to answer your question, IMO the Cunningham is a valuable
addition.
For me adjusting halyard tension is more difficult than adjusting
Cunningham. My Cunningham is a 5 to 1 fiddle block arrangement which pulls
down on a pennant that passes through the luff cringle (2 to 1) resulting

Cunningham does flatten the sail but simply due to luff tension.
If a baby stay is able to pull the belly of the mast forward then the luff is

Hi Josh- I have a similar rig, but the reefing hook is attached directly to the
luff cringle. I considered adding another 2:1 but I want to clarify how your
pennant is rigged. It looks like it is attached to the tack pin, then up to
the cringle and then down to a spliced loop for the reefing h
David your statement of my whole setup is correct. It is a spliced eye
with no thimble. The hook fits tight in the eye splice to avoid
inadvertent disengagement when the cunningham is softened or while the sail
is not at full height (reefed or down completely). When I reef I typically
