Ray,
The cunningham runs from a cringle a foot or two above the main tack fitting
down to deck level where it is often directed via turning blocks to a cleat
or stopper near the companionway.
It serves to pull down on the main, flattening the lower third of the sail
in higher winds. I have always seen them run back to the cockpit, but I
suppose they could just as well tie off at the base of the mast to a small
cleat. I just haven't seen one done like that. My boat has a hook attached
to the end of the cunningham so we can remove it when stowing the main
(rolling it up).
Does that help?

Subject: [SPAM]Stus-List 1985 C&C - 33 Missing Cunningham
I purchased a 1985 C&C - 33 and I am missing the cunningham. Does anyone
have a diagram of where it runs on the boat or could explain it to me.
Thanks,
