Cunningham Rigging - With a 6:1 Ball Bearing Based System.
Shown here with the Ronstan Option

We found that the 8:1 proposed by some – ran out of travel at both ends of the spectrum and the 2:1 did not offer a significant increase in purchase – instead we have used a 6:1 system that I am sure you will find offers both range and control.

Attaching the 6:1 Cunningham Top Block for the Laser.

	The most annoying thing about the new control lines is attaching them! Rooster Sailing is happy to show you how to make it easy with the Rooster Cunningham Line, as described to us by a fellow laser sailor Alan Davies.
	In this case we are attaching the line to a Harken 16mm Becket Block, so we can rig a Rooster 6:1 Cunningham System. After attaching one end of the loop to the top pin of the Vang System  - take the other loop through the eye of the sail.
	Pass the loop of the Rooster ‘Laser Cunningham Line’ though the loop of the block to be attached.
	The clever bit – now pass the loop over the end of the block.
	Pull the loop over the block and……
	you can see it is now attached! You are now ready to attach your control line.
	The finished article!!
	To take off can confuse me – just ease the loop a little, see the loop you have made in the left hand.
	-now pass the block (becket end first) through the loop.
	Once the block is through the loop – it is off the Rope.
