Standard Sized Spinnaker Snuffer (sleeve, douser, sock)<br>5 to 16.5 meters, priced per meter<br>Sold by the meter, 5 meter minimum. Can make in 0.5 meter increments<br>Pricing good for snuffers from 5 meters to 16.5 meters only, including half-meter increments. Please see other our other listing for the 17 to 31 meter range or consult us for sizes outside these ranges.<br>Free shipping with order of spinnaker if shipped together<br>Please read entire listing before ordering!<br>No offers, please.<br>Pricing is non-negotiable. Non-confirming orders will be voided.<br>The meter demystified: one foot equals about 300mm (actually ~305mm), or 30cm, or 0.3m. So a meter is about three and a third feet, or 3'-4" (actually about 3'-3.6").<br>Features<br>A control line in a continuous loop passes through a pulley at the top and then into two separate internal pockets. A lighter line on one side is used to raise the sock while a heavier line on the other side is used to lower the sock.<br>The sleeve has a funnel on the bottom end to ease the sail in.<br>It also has a broad stripe on the outside to show if the sock is twisted before you deploy the chute.<br>How to Size Your Snuffer<br>The length of the lowered snuffer should be just shorter than your leech on an asymmetrical or luffs on a symmetrical spinnaker. That is, the clew(s) should remain exposed with snuffer down over the sail -- the snuffer should not come down over the sheets.<br>The rule of thumb is to make your snuffer a foot (0.3m or 30cm) longer than the leech. The bulging of the sail will then take about the right amount of length out of your snuffer for a good fit.<br>Though we need to price the snuffers by the meter, we will make them 0.5 intermediate lengths. Just round up for the pricing the order, please. I can issue an $18 refund for the missing half meter on request. (Only whole number quantities can be sold on eBay listings. Selling by half meter quantities would lead to confusion.)<br>So, were your leech, say, 9.19m, your snuffer should be about 9.49. You could order a 10m snuffer but then, in your note to us, tell us to make it, say, 9.5m. You could also order a 9m snuffer and it certainly would work well enough.<br>How to Order<br>1. Find the length of your luff (if for symmetrical) or leech (if for asymmetrical) measurement.<br>2. Add one foot or 0.3m to that number. You will use that sum when you consult the chart below.<br>3. Find the corresponding length on the chart below round up to find the billable length in meters and enter that length into the quantity field in<br>meters<br>(<br>m<br>, highlighted in red).<br>If you are adding a spinnaker to your order<br>, please put both your spinnaker and launch bag or snuffer (from the appropriate listing) in an<br>eBay cart<br>prior to purchase so that they are ordered at the same time and thereby avoid a shipping charge for the launch bag and/or snuffer.<br>4. Use eBay messaging immediately after placing your order to tell us the actual length we should make your snuffer. For example, if you need a 9.5m snuffer, you will have ordered a 10m snuffer and then will tell us to make it 9.5m. Also, specify two colors -- one for the sleeve and one for the stripe. The colors available are<br>red ,blue, black, grey, and yellow<br>.<br>Feet to Meters Conversion Table<br>Feet<br>Meters<br>16.4<br>5<br>19.69<br>6<br>22.97<br>7<br>26.25<br>8<br>29.53<br>9<br>32.81<br>10<br>36.09<br>11<br>39.37<br>12<br>42.65<br>13<br>45.93<br>14<br>49.21<br>15<br>52.49<br>16<br>55.77<br>17<br>Dimensions smaller than a foot are shown are in tenths and hundredths of a foot rather than in inches for greater accuracy and ease of reference.<br>About Loong Sails<br>Our lofts are in Shenzen City, China, just outside Hong Kong.
