THE BEST DESCRIPTION I HAVE EVER SEEN OF HOW A CUNNINGHAM WORKS AND SHOULD BE SET UP. THANK YOU ! An ace example of some very clear communication using video.

I am a beginner and you are now my 'GO TO' for clear, concise, uncomplicated explanation and demonstration for sail settings. Your style and delivery is 'pitch perfect' and a godsend to sailors like me. Thank you so much 😊

I am just learning to sail and I find your explanations very easy to understand. Reading about it and looking at pictures is no substitute for the real thing. Thank you for producing and posting the videos. You are the best that I've found at explaining even the simple procedures to a budding sailor. I am 56, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Don.

Hi, I'm one of the sailors you mention that has been sailing (big cuizing yachts) for many years and rarely used a cunningham. I've just set up an older Etchell for a bit of fun sailing on weekends. Your video was very helpful and very well explained, thanks for sharing.

Thank You ! lovely video with not only great content, but excellent timing and thoughtful/clear graphics. a wonderful explanation. if i had a boat, i would go directly out there and install a cunningham .. perhaps .. two ! PDZ is correct about angles of attack vs incidence. Thank You again for your sound advice.

Anyway..these videos were posted here so I could linke them to my sailing forum anything-sailing.com....I just used youtube to be able to embed them there. Thanks

ppconsultant By the way...the eye pads, not the cringles ( that was a typo on my side) on my boat are from Wichard, and they have stainless steel backing plates inside the cabin roof. These are very high load rated..

@bentoa1664 жыл бұрын
Very clear and useful to many. However I don't think some of this applies to fractional rigs and masts that bend, the dynamics are very different and depending on boat the mast bend and leech may be affected significantly by luff tension. Consider a windsurfer but take it back a notch, sail boards are all about cranking the luff to bend the mast and loosen the leech (let it flow out baby), fractional rigged boats are somewhere in between in my humble view. But this would be useful for yachts and trailables with fully supported/stiff masts.

Hm, as a non sailor but a pilot, my only quibble is "Angle of incidence". It really ought to be called Angel of attack (alpha) - incidence would be the geometric angle to the boat, not the apparent wind. But like I said - I know very little about sailing, but these videos are very useful.

@marineboy3059 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot for all your instructional videos. Saying hello from s. Korea! If the angle of incidence gets larger (by moving the draft forward), the apparent wind may start to hit the back of the luff. Does that make it difficult to point?
@AthelstanEngland7 жыл бұрын
Very useful videos thank you. One quick question as a dinghy sailor have been generally advised to pull on the Cunningham when beating (in stronger winds) but your instructions seem to indicate that this actually makes it harder to point to the wind. Perhaps the advice I have previously seen is simply because it reduces the power and hence less likely to have to ease the main to depower... but do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks

Hi, thank you for this its a great video. if your Cunningham is not holding any tension then would your draft be at 60% or 50% if 50 then how do you get the draft to 60 on most boats? great video thank you

I plan to install a Cunningham on my boat over the winter. I got some good information about the set of fiddle blocks I should use, but the line that runs through the cringle and is secured on the coach roof seems like it would require a lot more strength than the tiny pad eye shown in the video. Any thoughts on how to determine what level of force would be needed for a heavy 35' cruiser (Niagara 35)?
@ppconsultant9 жыл бұрын
Its hard to determine, but that cringle has been there since 2007, the boat now was converted to an ORC race boat, races 26 races a year, with loads far greater than the ones you will ever have on a Niagara 35. I estimate less than 200kg force. You can see the team here --> www.giulietta-racing.com

How would you install a Cunningham on a inmast furler?
@ppconsultant Жыл бұрын
I doubt it would be possible, you would have to see how your sail is attached, but in all honesty, installing one on a sail with an inmast furler will do practically nothing. Those types of sail do not allow much tuning and performance adjustments
@bobailik15705 жыл бұрын
Showing us that Cunningham tension is moving a draft forward, you present the opposite picture of the draft!
