ILCA / Laser 6:1 Cunningham PRO (Harken)

Upgrade your Laser / ILCA cunningham control to a 6:1 purchase system with this complete set up from our Rig Shop. Our PRO 6:1 cunningham uses a set of two Harken 29mm T2 carbo blocks to create a cunningham that is easy to rig and unrig, with integrated Dyneema primary for connecting to your vang and luggage tag loop on lower block for attaching to your mast section. Our experts have fine tuned this system so that the lengths are perfect for dialing in your Laser / ILCA outhaul. Designed for Laser / ILCA sailboats with upgraded deck hardware - deck blocks and deck cleats. If you have a Laser Standard / ILCA 7 MK2 sail, we recommend opting for our 8:1 cunningham kit for more sail control. 

Available with Blue, Yellow, Red, or Green 4mm control line. All Dyneema line is gray.

MK1 vs MK2 Sails & Line Lengths - Please review prior to ordering!

• Luff length and related tack grommet location impact the optimal primary length (the Dyneema line portion) of an ILCA cunningham system. The various ILCA sail generations can be summarized via two outcomes. 
• STANDARD LENGTH - First generation ILCA 4, ILCA 6, and ILCA 7 sailis, also referred to as 'MK1' or 'Mark 1' sails. These sails require our standard length cunningham primary line, which is our default length when you order a cunningham system. 
• LONGER LENGTH - The latest ILCA 7 MK2 and ILCA 4 MK2 sails have a slightly shorter luff length and therefore the tack grommet is higher relative the the deck, meaning the cunninham primary line needs to be several inches longer to compensation. 
• Please leave an order comment if you are ordering a cunningham intended for use with an ILCA 7 MK2 or ILCA 4 MK2 sail. Our rigging team will add a few inches of length to the cunningham primary to account for this. 
• Alternatively, you can tie in a small dyneema loop between the end of the primary and the attachment point on your vang assembly.

How to Rig:

• Install lower block around mast section, below the tang, by passing the block through the spliced eye
• Set block to port or starboard side, depending on how you prefer to set up your controls
• With your mast and sail up, take the Dyneema primary line (spliced to top 29mm block) and pass through the grommet in the tack of the sail
• Run the loop down to your vang assembly and connect to the pin at the top of the vang - the block/control line should then be hanging from the sail
• Next, take the control line (spliced to the block hanging at the grommet) and run to the block at the base of the mast, passing from back to front
• Run the control line back up to the hanging block and through the sheeve, passing front to back
• Complete the system by running the control line down to the deck, through the deck block, and aft to the deck cleat
