Soft and flexible, with no rigid edges to damage crew or rigging, the CT SnuffAir can be deflated between hoists and stowed away down a fore-hatch or inside a spinnaker bag. The space-saving benefits, manoeuvrability and improved crew safety make the CT SnuffAir a must-have for yachts over 60ft.

CT SnuffAir advantages over a solid hoop or “bucket”
- deflates quickly and can be dropped down the fore hatch
- no restrictions on hatch size
- significant space saving below deck, when deflated and packed away
- safe to operate, as release valve prevents over inflating
- compatible with existing on-board inflation systems
- no hard edges swinging above deck so improved crew safety and less potential for damage to mast, rig, spinnaker, paintwork, deck gear and equipment aloft
- chafe-guard provides a slippery surface for hoisting and dropping the spinnaker
- light and easy to use, easier to manage on deck when handling the spinnaker
