Spinnakers and snuufers in racing

Jeff,
The real value of the snuffer is for short handed crews. I have been flying an asymetrical with a sock on a 36'' boat for many years and with the help of the auto pilot am able to raise,lower and fly it single handed. I will shortly be moving up to a 43'' and expect to be able to do the same there. I can''t imagine doing it without a snuffer.
