Found link on the F18HT forum to this homemade pole-integrated snuffer:
Snuffer It looks good and it's more portable (comes apart) so shipping would be cheaper.
From the BableFish translating page:
"New Snuffer With an aim of facilitating and of accelerating the operations of entry and exit of the spi of my Bimare Javelin 2, I created after one year of study and research, new a snuffer which offers in more of other advantages. If you have comments and/or you want more information, you
constrained step! Advantages * Entered of spi equal on the two sides (To compare with the snuffer on the side of the boom, the spi does not pass any more over the boom before entering the snuffer) * Entry (hole) larger for facility the entry and the exit * Lighter than the original kit of Bimare Javelin 2 (approximately 2 books) * Pocket of spi easily detachable and made with fabrics "Smoke" to cut rays UV * Ease of transport (2 sections like the masts of board with veil)"
I like the use of "board with veil" masts!! Just don't ask him any questions or try to send comments...he starts calling you a "constrained step"?!?!?
Wonder how he runs the tack line...seems like it must be completely external...I'm afraid to ask :-0
