I've never seen a snuffer type spin rig on a beach cat up close. The last few months I've been racing on a friends Farrier 28R trimaran that has an asymetric spinnaker flying off a bowspirit pole just like a lot of beach cats. These Tri's (as well as most other monohulls) don't usually use any special deployment or retrieval systems, other than a bag. I've been wondering why the Tri's don't run a snuffer type setup or even some kind of roller drum (like on the M20) to spool up the spinny. Is there a limit to the sail size for a snuffer or other device to work?

Any thoughts?
