Activate your Cunningham

Parts required:

Rope: 5 metres of 4mm diameter

Blocks: Two (2) Harken Micro blocks, sheave size 22mm, are recommended.
One(1) double and one (1) single

Use at least 5 metre of rope and tie around the tang leaving a 1 to 1.5 metre tail which goes up and through the sail cringle and ties off using a bowline with a double block. Adjust the knots so the block is tight against the cringle.

Tie a single block around the mast / tang.

The long tail is passed through one side of the double block

down through the single block

and back through the remaining sheave in the double block

and finishes through the cunningham fairlead deck fitting.

The sail cringle is released at the double block by undoing the bowline on the short tail.
