I don't have one; just the weave line. I wish I had the cunningham since it makes the trim so much easier. It's too much effort to untie the weave line on reaches, so it doesn't get done. With the cunningham, it would just be a flick of the wrist to throw off or on. Ron Wild Cheri C&C 30-1 STL

We also use the cunningham for the reef. Dennis C.

Do you have a Cunningham grommet in your mainsail? I do not in my current sail but that is because Hood made the sail with a jack line (or lace line) which serves the purpose. My new sail definitely won't have a jack-line. Some adjust luff tension with the halyard, others use a separate Cunningham grommet with a many part tackle (or lead the Cunningham line to a winch) to set the luff tension. My sailmaker has an opinion but my question is, which do you use? The Cunningham is useless when reefed, of course.
