Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | What's the general recommendation for attaching a snuffer line to a spinnaker? I've got a spinnaker with no provisions for a snuffer line that I would like to add some to. Obviously the attachment points should be re-inforced but is it better to use grommets or a small nylon webbing loop? I've seen them both ways. Does either help reduce the ball of sail going into the snuffer?
