Mr. Case,
<br>
<br>I've put a prototype together, based on input from others, including a working homemade. I'm using a 12'6" alloy pole, with a carbon fiber tennis racket put into the end, with an old jib bag fashioned as the snuffer bag. At this time the opening is not angled. Although the weather is pretty nice here around Galveston, holidays and a 1 yr old, I haven't tried it yet. I'm using an I-20 spin, which works very well on my Nacra 6.0. Look at the archives on the old forum about a month or so ago, theres a long thread on this topic.<br><br>

I will run the retrievel line like on the I-20. I purposefully purchaed an I-20 chute so I wouldn't have to modify the chute for a retrievel line. I've used it several races and sails tramp bagging it. IT WORKS GREAT! VERY POWERFUL AND FAST!<br><br>

Retrieval line:
<br>From the head, thru the halyard top block(mines a rotating hound system, better for your mast), thru the bottom block and cleat, still the same line thru the aft end of the bag, thru the grommet in the sail, to the tab in the sail. The retrieval line is continous with the halyard. Anyone else with a better explanation, please post in.

Add a block on the rear beam, go through the cleat for the halyard, to the block on the rear beam, then through the aft end of the bag.
<br>
<br>The block on the rear beam keeps the halyard/retrieval line clean and untangled. You don't want the posibility of a knot when you go to drop the chute a boatlength from 'C' mark.

Me thinks if it were under the tramp, you couldn't get to it to launch or snuff.<br><br>
