| I see the marstrom 20 in the Steeplechase had a spin snail (that sucks up the spin). I have only seen this on an A-cat video. It looked amazing. Are these comercially available? Any info on these?

There's a reason why you don't see a lot of them. | | | Re: Spin Snail

Northfield Mn | Robbie has one floating around. I think it was for the Tornado. I thought about trying it on the Viper. Might work really well with a significantly smaller spinnaker. Just speculation though.
