new-to-me C25
no downhaul rigging at all
and boom-to-mast is just a pin with cotter, which wiggles freely side-to-side
not confidence-inspiring
anyone have a photo of what this intersection should look like?
thanks!

My downhaul was simply a piece of rope with a stopper-knot, fed through the hole in the bottom of the gooseneck casting and made to a horn cleat below it in the kerf--the slot in the mast. 1:1 purchase, but I used the halyard to tension the luff--not the downhaul. I'm not sure about the wiggle you're talking about, but it might be eliminated by tension on the downhaul.

Take a look at page 19 of the Parts Manual for the gooseneck details.

Page down to page 19, this may shed a little light on the subject.
The Cunningham is basically as Dave says a piece of rope. Works fine tho

Oddly, that diagram shows the hole in the gooseneck and the cleat in the kerf for the downhaul, but not the downhaul. That's a different thing from a Cunningham.
