You're worried about the crew whining? Seriously? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A snuffer system will save you about 12 seconds on the hoist and douse and greatly reduces the pucker factor on the douse if it's really windy. It's still reasonable to carry the spinnaker in a bag on the trampoline for distance sailing - but around the cans, it will cost you some significant time to launch from the deck.

A self tacker too!? Geeesh, you really care for this crew person don't you? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
