[Rhodes22-list] running rigging...standard mainsail not IMF

[Leland]

John,

Impressive set-up.  I had assumed you just hauled the mainsail up with the
halyard and then let gravity bring the sail back down.  Does a cunningham
pull the luff of the sail tighter than putting tension on both the halyard
and downhaul, or is it just an easier method to get the same result?

Impressive group of pontoons too.  Hope you aren't the only sailboat, and
monohaul, in the marina.
