While on the subject, what are the current thoughts on 2 versus 3 sail patches? While at the Tboat nationals, all boats had 3 patches. This should make the blob of sail material larger and harder to snuff compared to a 2 patch sail. I think the Guck site recommends a 2 patch sail...but I know for a fact that site is several years old now and has not been updated to current trends.

I currently run a 3 patch sail using the Guck Skunk Snuffer. With a well used Dynalite (silicon impregnated) sail, snuffing is great. With a nearly new, 3 patch nylon (cripsy) sail, snuffing is much more difficult. My snuffer bag is likely long enough to handle a two patcher...should I make the change?

Mike.
