How to adjust the Laser Cunningham - MK2 sail

You will learn how to set up your MK2 (Mark II) Laser sail. What the influence of the Cunningham is and how it affects the shape of the sail. A good sail set-up is crucial to sail the boat easy and fast!

This is the clearest explanation of the cunningham control i have seen on the internet 😁

YES ! heavier sailors in some respects can "de-power" a little less than the lighter weight sailers. depending on conditions, point of sail, etc.
also, if you are going to completely un-tension the cunningham, be sure to cleat it anyway and give it a little tug into the teeth of the clam cleat, so that if you take a spill, the mast does not un-step and go into the drink
also, instead of putting a figure 8 knot into the end of the cunningham line, try putting on a bowline instead, which makes it a lot easier to pull >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 28240

Great video and production. But question: is there a contradiction? In the beginning it says the Cunningham mainly flattens the top of sail, and i have seen other articles and diagrams show this (outhaul adjusts bottom, vang middle, Cunningham top of sail). But later in video when boat is sideways, it looks like it’s flattening more the middle than the top. Also, they say Cunningham also promotes twist at the top, which also seems to say Cunningham is more flattening the middle than the top. Any explanation? Thanks!

I've just found out that I've set my cunningham always wrong, I have a radial and I weight 63Kg on a 170cm, so I'll totally loosen it compared on how I kept it until now.
Thank you for the info!

So you have to adjust sideways on water ?
