I was just in the process of posting some photos on the Aquarius Web Page of the spinnaker Retrieval system we used on the ARC-17 this past summer. Thought some of you might be interested in seeing them.

Matt,

The snuffer looks great. Thanks for the photos. When do we get one of these for the 22?

Matt/Tom:

Add the snuffer and bag to my current order. I'll be glad to test it out in the Destin area. Do you know if it will require an adjustment-shape or size- to the currently used chutes? Can the old chutes be retrofitted for the snuffer? Two patches, mid pole system, best of both worlds and clean up the tramp at the same time. Definitely add it to the boat while it's up there.
Thanks again, Matt, for the great forum.

Spin retreival for the ARC21?

Has there been any efforts made to produce a snuufer for the ARC21? Using the spin in the Tradewinds regatta was a real work out because of the need to launch from the deck. I could imagine a much better placing in a bouy race had we not wasted as much time as we did fooling with the spin 3 or 4 times per race.
