I know Kirt has had some experience with a skunk. I'd like to know what he thinks. Any other experiences that any of you have would be great. The three Mikes (all with 4.9s) from St. Petersburg area are talking about ordering our spinnakers at the same time from the same loft (Smyth or Goodall), but I haven't decide on which way to launch.



I'll be mainly sailing solo. I have used a Snufffer while sailing an I17 and it works great, but lots of windage and weight where I don't want it. The skunk seems to be a good compromise. Only drawback is two lines to launch vs. one on the Snuffer.



Also, if you like your Goodall chute let me know.



Thank you.
