[quote=Dogboy]On the Getaway, the jib is (more or less) permanently attached to the forestay. It can't be lowered, so you need a snorkel if storing the boat mast up and if you trailer, the snorkel is still preferred because otherwise you would need to remove the entire forestay assembly from the mast to store the jib in the sailbox.
Otherwise, I agree. Raising and lowering a snorkel is about the same amount of effort as raising and lowering the jib, so it doesn't really save anything and opens up the potential for jib damage.
