I think it was Bill Roberts who posted a copy of the original patent for the snuffer design, but it wasn't on a stick in front of a cat.
It was actually a funnel shaped tube glassed into the deck and a sock leading to the ****, of a monohull resembling a Flying Scot.
I would think that a high perfomance boat like a Farrier/F boat could install one like that and put it to good use.
