Eric, Rob,

Yes, for simplicities sake, I just used the same CF hoop of the e-o snuffer and lashed it to the underside and in front of the bridle foil along the port side of the pole, and to the pole.

Eric, people such as John Tomko, when discussing this, suggested I 'glass' a lip to rivet or bolt to the pole. I simply got out my scrap line bag, and found several pieces of suitable line (some old spectra, etc.) and lashed! With a little trail and error, I managed to get a very snug fit, easier then farbricating.

Rob, I can take some pics in a few weeks when I use it again, but you can imagine how it looks pretty easy. The e-o hoop from the end lashed to the port side of the pole, and in front of the bridle foil of my N6.0. The same bag extends about 18" under the tramp, and the retrieval/halyard line used, (the same one as before) now goes to a block near the center and at the rear beam. Reteival portion under the tramp, halyard portion over the top to my 'spin lock' then up the mast.

With this set-up, I re-used my tack line cleat for the spin, as a 'tack line' is now also needed.

Still a little tweaking, but it works well.

I only did this because in some extreme conditions without the chute out of the bag(snuffer), I've caught the hoop on some big waves like a big spatula, and ripped it off. Mainly because it sits so much lower on the N6.0.
