My tack hook is right below the furler drum. Was
wondering how good those 'ATN Tacker' work.

With a drifter and a furler, you really don't want to use the hook.
A
properly sized snapshackle is a much better choice. If you really
need to
know how I know this, I will explain, but I'd rather not. Think of
the
slackened halyard tension, super light winds, and slowly tacking the
drifter as it's weight slackens the luff.


gotcha.
