CUNNINGHAM  

Most Tanzer22 mainsails are fitted with a cringle (86) in the luff a few inches 
above the tack . This cringle allows the installation of a mainsail cunningham if 
desired as shown in Figure 10. The cunningham tackle (86A), should be secured 
to the upper hole in the aluminum plate (85) protruding from the sail groove at 
the base of the mast. The bottom hole should be used for a boom vang if 
installed.  

 

The luffs of some No. 1 and No. 2 genoas are also fitted with a cringle and line to 
permit the fitting of a simple cunningham as shown in Figure 11. A more 
sophisticated arrangement involving a purchase tackle and control line to the 
cockpit may be installed if preferred .
