OK, so I built a snuffer pole and tried it out this weekend, broke hoops first try, repaired, new setup worked but.... We kept having troublw with the sail catching in water and going under the bows. We were vary carfull to lower slowly as w pulled sail into the bag, so my question is, Where are the umbilical patches on your guy's sails? I tries putting 3 evenly spaced up the middle of the sail, should the bottom one be closer to the clew? Umm is there somethign you do to make the bottom patch start to go into the sack before the top patch gets too it?

On a lighter note, my website just got a facelift, bolsterd by the picture galler here on catsailor, and a lot of new pictures of my prindle, my freinds new prindle, and some group shots. Still missing some picts of some of the boats we have, but i have hope that my update will be as regulatr as they have been this last month.
