prindle 18.2 gennaker -how to make a snuffersystem for the beam?  Bottom

  • Hello
    I bought the genakker with spibeam (diameter 5cm)
    Only the system is with bag and not yet with snuffering..
    Who fix already a snuffer for a prindle?
    Thanks
    Karel
  • Sniffers are basically universal. Get one off almost any spin boat for your Prindle.
  • Thanks I found a posting with an old type of spi.. I can buy one.. should I do it? Link
  • Hi Karel,
    Don't know youre level of experience, but I suggest you try
    the spi hoisted from the tramp out of a bag a couple of times.
    The 18-2 can turn in somewhat of a beast with a spi.
    Lots of nose-diving.
    If you then decide to keep the spi, invest in a new snuffer-bag,
    they cost €50 - €90, and try to get a snuffer-ring secondhand.
    They are so expensive for a chunk of polyester.
    Be careful, lots of F18 and other cats have a 35mm pole, you need
    the 50mm.
    Here's a pic of my 18-2 with spi.
