Doh! should have guessed
 < ="text/" ="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/e0ca581c//helpers/preHelper.js">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?

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.

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