Well that wasn't what I expected when I saw the subject line!

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?
