The chute is going up smoothly but it's really resisting going back into the snuffer bag when it comes down. It looks like it may be bunching up too much causing a bottleneck at the snuffer hoop.

The chute is brand new and crispy - the lines aren't hanging up on anything or kinking.

I can get the chute into the snuffer if I really crank on it but I'm pulling much much harder than I should have to.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've heard of some F17 sailors adding a couple inches of line to each of the 3 spinnaker retrieval rings but I'm not sure why they do that or if it would help in this case.

Ideas?

Thanks!
