No mention yet of AP.
It won't generally do very well downwind to trust alone butr if gybing then use it.
Steer about 10-20 degrees off dead Dw. Engage AP.
Harden in Mainsheet
using AP - alter course enough to gybe the main.
Gybe the Genoa
come back up 10- 20 degrees to a broadish reach under AP.
Ease Mainsheet
Back on course - AP off.
That way - you only have the AP on when the Main is strapped in so even if it gets it wrong the gybe won't hurt.
As for running with Genny only - makes sense.
