The boat came with the bag set-up to bag launch. Any opinions on the back vs mid pole, etc would be helpful.
I have a mid pole snuffer. It is great. After bag launching for a month... i had to bite the bullet and spend the cash.
I purchased my snuffer ring /bag from Jill A. Nickerson (Robbie's wife) 727-734-0799
www.funinthesunweb.com funinthesun@juno.comIt is the one used on the Capricorns/Tornados. At least 5 or my pals also use this one and like it. The SNU does look nice... and i spoke with the designer... he was great to deal with but in the end i decided to go local and support Robbie and Jill as they have been a great boost to our local and national sport.
My only advice is you place the bowl atleast 2 foot ahead of the furler to avoid the spin halyard from getting fouled in the jib. (i need to move mine forward)
