Spinnakers and snuufers in racing
My question relates to spinnaker use - I have been taught using snuffers to launch and collapse spinnakers and found them convenient and quick, not to mention easy for a novice crew like me. However, I am told that they are almost never used in racing. Is this correct? If so, what is the reason? What are the pros and cons of using a snuffer for a spinnaker in racing conditions?
