I do it the opposite way. I use the reef point dog bone to attach a snap hook
with a block and use that as my Cunningham. When I want to reef, I just pull
this down so I can reef from the cockpit. If I don’t mind leaving he cockpit
(not single handing), I move the snap hook to the next reef p

Yes. I don't race, and basically am happy when the boat is moving
forward at a decent rate of speed. I don't use the cunningham, and seem
to be able to use the halyard and vang to control sail shape well enough
to keep me happy.
Antoine, it's called a "flattening reef" in English - exactly what you
described.
I first got my main without a Cunningham crinkle but had one added a couple of
years back - much easier to fine tune luff tension / draft and much quicker
than the halyard on a winch.

Hi David,

Well, the main sail is up and properly tensioned, which mean that the halyard
point is close to the mast top block to use the full length of your mast. Wind
is light, not too much tension is needed on the

I have a line running through the grommet, giving theoretical 2:1, which is
cascaded to a 3:1 at the mast base. I use 1/4" line for the control since
there's so little load on it, it runs to a cleat on the cabin top at the
cockpit.

My sailmakers opinion is that pulling the sail down is counter intuitive to
getting more power aloft. That being said I have a 4:1 block and tackel

Hmmm...thanks Chuck, I never considered the sail maker cutting the sail
longer than the band. I'm pretty sure mine cut it to fit the bands and
explained that there would be room for it to stretch (to the band).
Additionally if it were cut long and then stretched it could stop or jam in

Thanks Chuck for making this important point regarding the upper black band.
A well measured racing main will reach the black band with only low
moderate tension on the halyard (for maximum area). No kidding..
foaming at the mouth racers believe even a few centimetres can make
the difference.
Nicely written Josh.
I would add the main halyard setup properly, can only be tensioned to raise the
sail to the black band.
As wind increases, the draft of the mainsail will move aft and the Cunningham
is used to add a little more tension along the luff and bring the draft forward
