How to Rig a Spliced 8:1 ILCA Downhaul | ILCA 7, 6 and 4 (Laser)

How to rig a spliced 8:1 ILCA downhaul (Laser cunningham), step by step. Suits the ILCA 7 (Laser Standard), ILCA 6 (Laser Radial) and ILCA 4 (Laser 4.7). In this video we show you how to fit a Sailing Chandlery spliced 8:1 downhaul system to your ILCA or Laser. Whichever rig you sail, the extra purchase makes it much easier to pull the cunningham on hard upwind in a breeze, so you can depower properly without fighting the rope. The ropes are spliced directly to the blocks, so there are no knots to slip or snag, just a clean, smooth run. We also walk through the two lower block attachment options, including the quick release, and explain the difference so you can pick the right set up for how you sail. Every system we make is built to order. Choose your rope, your colour and the blocks, and we'll splice it up for your boat.
