The Inflatable Snuffer
The INFLATABLE SNUFFER from OXLEY® is the perfect solution for all kind of sail sizes and a small fore-deck hatch. A firm outer layer made of Dacron and an airtight innertube form the basis of the oval snuffer collar.
This construction principle makes the funnel especially resilient, durable and light. This technique has its origins in the sport of kite surfing, and has been successfully in operation for a full decade. Using a double action pump
or an air-compressor, the collar ring can be inflated very quickly. Using the deflation valve, the air can be released within seconds and the collar reduced to a convenient storage size.
OXLEY® offers two different types of inflatable snuffers.
HOW
To use the Inflatable Snuffer
Inflate
Unfold the snuffer tube. Open the Neoprene cover and attach the pump hose to the inflation valve. Pump the snuffer to 6PSI.
Attach
Attach the snuffer “head-webbing” to the Spinnaker/Gennaker top clew with a shackle.
Carrying case
The additional OXLEY® carrying case is the proof that there is a high degree of potential for optimization even in seemingly trivial products. It captivates with its oval base and high-quality craftsmanship. The inner bottom and the bottom side faces are lined with styrofoam and covered with an abrasion-resistant material. With laterally attached compression belts, the volume can be reduced to a third of its full size – an important argument for optimal usage of storage space.
