Been having some complaints from the "mobile ballast" (crew ) while hoisting/dousing the spinny. Apparently it is taking excessive effort to get the sail into/out of the snuffer (Guck Inc. Skunk design). The sail is the current Gran Segal design for Tornado, formerly owned/lightly used by Lars Guck himself. It has three retrieval patches. My older spinny is of unknown brand, also has 3 patches but the cloth is much more compliant, feels lighter and is a silicon-impregnated type of material...very slippery in comparison to the Gran Segal. The old sail goes in/out of the snuffer like a hot knife through butter.

Laying the two sails on top of each other, it's obvious the newer one is larger, (mainly at the leech...by 6-12 inches) and that the patches are not in the same location (more separation on the newer sail).
What can I do to the newer (better shape) sail to help the situation? Some have suggested converting to a 2 patch sail. Seems virtually every spinny setup I've seen has 3 patches...
