For point of reference, what are you using now? Mid-pole or end-pole snuffer? How long is the bag? 2 or 3 patches on your spinnaker? Do you have separate or joint tack and halyard lines? How is the retrieval line routed?

The bag goes nicely under the front cross beam but above the striker--it's out of the way and I don't notice it catching waves much. I know some US F16 sailors are using a snuffer mouth made by Guck in the US. The solid tubes seem like they would be pretty heavy and look very narrow--so I'm wondering how well they work as they seem popular and are present on lots of Tornadoes.

I think it would be nice to gather a collection of photos with various setups.
