Do you have a Cunningham grommet in your mainsail?
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.

I think Michael Crombie is referring to the two 'mast collar bars' that
attach to the mast collar and come down the mast and bolt through it to
counter the upward force of halyards.

Like most of you guys, I have a Cunningham cringle (And use it). However,
I never quite got a clear Halyard vs Cunningham answer until I did a little
more research this am.
1st reasonable rationale: Use the halyard to control the top half / use

And of course for those of us with vintage sails, cunningham gives you
adjustment options when the headboard is already as high as it will go. I
don't have one, still have the sliding gooseneck.

I was told much the same. Tension cunningham and flattenig reef upwind,

Was also told that the halyard tensions the luff (bolt rope) and the
cunningham actually stretches the material of the sail its
A couple of seasons ago North Sails sponsored a tuning clinic for C&C 115s in
our area. We had three C&C115s out and did speed training of the three against
each other with Andreas Josenhans and Sandy MacMillan of North Sails running
the clinic. There were other experts also on hand on the boa
We should all remember that tensioning the backstay on upwind runs loosens
the halyard so hauling it to full height under no load may not be tight
enough...hence the cunningham. And once its loaded up the halyard is even
more difficult.

On my centreboard 35-3 CB there is a dedicated self tailer for the board
hoist, with a clutch. Up wind that winch becomes the tensioner for the
cunningham . Downwind the cunningham is released and the winch reverts back to
its original task of raising the board. Works well since these actions a

Well, my Xantrex 'Ideal Regulator Output Module' that is managed by my

more. But I need to think about getting a new spare, and wonder which one.

FWIW, I agree with Antoine's description of using the Cunningham and Flattening
Reef.
These tweaks are used similarly on all mainsails, from dinghies to bigger keel
boats.

Did you see the 1989 57 in Seebrook, TX?
For only 325K, you get a 57 complete with a bar that includes 3 permanent

She's a pretty boat but seems a little pricey. It's no Swan. But then again
once we leave the 100k barrier on a 26 year old boat, I'm really out of touch
with what costs are.
She looks more suited for entertaining at the harbour then thrashing about in
the ocean.

I use my Cunningham when I reef to reduce pressure on the double hook thing
above the gooseneck.
That being said, I don't think my double hook thing (tack hook) has ever been
properly installed since I've owned the boat. It's a stainless rod that becomes
