Congratulations on your new boat, Marc.

Hmm. I do have the snuffer with a long bag. I have it rigged with the retrieval line crossing the tramp from back to front from the block (at the rear beam) to the spinlock cleat, which I had Greg put on the front beam. The system has been working fine. Next time I set up I'll try it as you suggest. A diagram would be helpful. How exactly do you fasten the retrieval line to the ball after passing it through the patches?

Greg sent me a bungee and plastic ring to use the grommet for a mainsheet retrieval system also, which I'm going to try.

Does the snuffer bag seem unecessarily long to you? I may shorten mine.

Enjoy your new boat!
