As a relatively new owner of a 1974 DSII, I am confused about the downhaul or cunningham. Here are my questions:
1) Are the two words identical in meaning?
2) The hole on the gooseneck is on the bottom, and it looks like I just run the line to the cleat on the mast. Is that right (can't see clearly enough the rigging image for the manual)?
3) I am thinking of adding a small block to the hole in the gooseneck to make it easier to haul down. Has anyone tried that?
Thanks a lot!
