Attached is a pic. of my mid pole snuffer ring that's in progress. The ring started life as a 14" foam ring used to make wreaths from. I put two layers of 2" fiberglass tape around it, epoxy, and vacuum bagged. Then created the mount tube again from glass and wrapped with electrical tape and perferated (since vacuum bagging around the spinnaker pole and ring assembly was impossible). The ring assembly only weighs about .75 lbs and it feels plenty sturdy - time will tell. I now need to make a small stainless tang for the bridle foil to make a second attachment point (see pic). The snuffer bag is the next challenge...any seamstress' out there?
