This is my exact snuffer...I purcahsed direct from Landenberger...he told me it was his design. Has that changed and now sold by Topcat??

The system is very good. Low cost, low friction. The dacron bag is much better than the more common mylar...a wet sail doesn't adhere as much to dacron as it does to mylar. Also, the taper in the bag shape helps lots.

Landenberger sells it and has info on it but I'm told the snuffer is made by Topcat company.

But VectorWorks Marine is now using this snuffer system for their Blade F16's as well. I personally have the AHPC ring and bag, as the first VWM Blades have as well. Both are good snuffers but I think the Topcat snuffer is better. For example it is very easy to take the bag off the ring and pole, which has its advantages. The AHPC snuffer bag is alot more difficult to put on or take aff and as a result I don't remove it at all. The AHPC bag is very nice though as it is made of a very firm material and won't flap in the wind.

Price is about the same for both.
