Re: control block understanding

[Christian Rasmussen <christian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

Are you talking about the wedge looking block, or the pyramid? (You need 
both) The wedge goes
on the wings and holds the clam cleats. The pyramid shaped goes next the 
centerboard trunk
and holds 2 cheek blocks each.  They are used to control cunningham. 
(One for the mainsail and one
for the jib) Look at the rigging manual for some better pictures.
