Randy, in a purchase system only one of the blocks is fixed. Such as at
the mast collar. The other block of the purchase system moves as you
adjust the Cunningham and the hook is attached to this block. I took it
one step further and ran a line through the cringle and attached the line
to the bo
as as delivered.

Thanks Dennis. I’ve got the cunningham, just not the purchase. Mine goes from
hook in cunningham cringle down to cheek block at mast base, back up to jam
cleat on mast. I also use it to reef.
The two other blocks listed in the owner’s manual table I’m sure gave it 4:1
purchase. I’m guessing
Randy,
You can make your own easily enough. Touche' uses a couple of small
Ronstan fiddle blocks and a cunningham hook.
I fastened a padeye at the base of the mast. I had to add a base under the
padeye to stand the block off the mast a bit. A fiddle block with becket
is attached to the padeye
Listers (especially 30-1 owners) -
The 30-1 owners manual Table 4, “C&C 30 Blocks”, lists one 1750-lb single
block, one 1750-lb single block with becket, and one 1200-lb cheek block for
cunningham usage. Grenadine doesn’t have the 1750-lb single blocks for her
cunningham; just the cheek block
