i would go as so far to say that downhaul is a set prior to sailing and Cunningham is adjustable during.

So it says " The cunningham differs from a typical downhaul in the way it attaches to the sail"

Clue (Clew) me in here, exactly what is typical downhaul other than the one we proper sailors use.

Doh! should have guessed

Anyway it's downhaul where I come from, because you apply it to the sail to pull it down..

Where did that stupid Cunningham term come from?

cunning ham - sly pig - geddit?

downhaul is becoming more prevalent - and it does what it says...

If you have a stretchy halyard, then once the sail is up, haul on the cunningham (lots); let it off again then retension the halyard. This will take out most of the stretch. Pulling on cunno with a stretchy halyard is a fruitless exercise.
