Yes stuffing the spinnaker in is the way to go, but for myself who is a fat 92 Kilos ( now 95 kilos after the recent ski holiday )+ the wet spinnaker, the last time I tried walking up the bow to stuff the spinnaker in, the bow went under and I ended up swimming. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Anyway try it first and see what you think, one thing is for sure it does ease the loads whilst snuffing and for whatever reason launching seems easier.
