try the 2 links below for ideas. usually the best solution is the simpliest so if u have a spare block just add it in.  the two links should give you an idea on what the best solution for your situation is (u dont have to stick accuarately to their systems to get a good solution). best of luck.

Hi,

I sail an RS200....and only being a little lightweight .....not very big muscles either!... .....I sometimes struggle with the cunningham on my boat which is at the moment a 4:1 purchase.

Does anyone know how I could change it to a 8:1 purchase?......I know 1 extra single block should double the purchase?.......but it's not the same as the kicker...i.e it's not a cascade!

I can't find any diagrams......or any articles! ......so if anyone can help me, PLEASE!...it's meant to be windy this Sunday and my arms are aching just thinking about it

Thanks, kasey
