Jun 26, 2004 #3 Philip New Member Chris It looks like 6:1 The line through the sail eye gives 2:1 and a block setup with 3 ups and downs (ie two single blocks one with a becket) gives 3:1. So 3x2=6:1 Phil

Jun 27, 2004 #4 M Murphs New Member thanks Phil. I find 6:1 very good and almost never have any trouble pulling the cunningham on although from what matt sterett has said, spars from north america are softer and the cunningham is easier to pull on
