I think it's a matter of time. Snuffing a sail is pretty fast compared to furling, dropping, and getting it controlled somehow on the trampoline. When you have a huge sail, this is about your only option (and much easier on the sail) and most of these big boats have 6 or more people on board to handle it. On the Tornado, minimal fuss and speed are critical so they're probably better off snuffing it.
