I've got another question too....why is it that most snuffer rigs are setup for a port tack takedown yet the hoops are on the port side (the side opposite the spinnaker on a port tack)?

After looking at photos like this, now I'm wondering why I had so much trouble to begin with. The relationship of these bridle wires to the hoop is worse than that of my pelican striker. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
