Has anybody heard of a piece of gear called "Skirtlifters" They are some sort of device that is used to bring the foot of the genoa to the inboard side of the lifeline when tacking. Apparently you do not need to have someone on the foredeck to lift the genoa foot over the lifeline in the event of a sloppy tack going upwind. From what I know, they were designed by a fellow named Mark Halman who raced a Hobie 33. I came across an old post (2008) on Sailing Anarchy that mentioned this device but have not had luck finding additional information. They are not rollers that attach to lifelines. I'm curious to find out what these "Skirtlifters" look like. Any thoughts?
