Could someone take a photo or videotape the correct (stock) Cunningham rigging setup for the 640? The stock rigging bag came with a Stopper Ball, length of Amsteel with a splice on one end and a block on the other and a short red line. Made some clever rigging attempts but none seem correct. What is the correct way to assemble the stock 4:1?
I saw the other tread about Cunningham rigging but I am looking for a stock setup:

Very difficult to describe, simple and elegant in practice once you "get it".
The eye splice in the 12-strand should pass through the tack, then through the padeye on the front of the mast, and the end of the line with the ball, then goes through the eyesplice, dinghy knot style. The other end of that line goes through the cleat. It makes a cascading 4:1.
My crude attempt at a diagram attached.
You including this diagram in the new manual??
You use CAD/CAM program for that one Bubba? ;-)
