I have a nasty problem pulling my spinnaker into the snuffer (see image).
Retrieving the spinnaker on starboard tack works fine and usually it fully disappears in the snuffer.
On port tack I sometimes end up with a situation where more or less large parts of the spinnaker are still outside the snuffer and pulling the retrieval line won't help (no matter how hard you pull).

I have tried to change the timing when I release the sheet, halyard and tack line, but came up with no real solution. The position of the patches (2 patches) seems to be OK.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
