Installing Cunningham

[TomP]

I am trying to figure my way through the best way to rig the cunningham through the cringle with some mechanical advantage.

Dave,

There are a couple of ways to approach this. Both equally effective. It all depends on the complexity you want to enjoy. The first would be a pad eye made to the mast then a measure of line thru the cringle then made up on the other side of the mast. Simple and effective, but does not have a great deal of purchase. Another is to rig a small tayckle with a hook to the cringle and made fast to the collar. You can put any size purchase you want. We have rigged cuninghams like this all the way up to 32:1 for large cats. Though 4:1 or 6:1 are the most prevelant.

Appreciate the guidance. That gives me enough to get started.
