What about a spinnaker downwind

You're such a card gaylord694.

Neve had to gybe to avoid another vessel, or wind change? You must be very lucky.

I don't think it's luck. I probably wouldn't bother to use a pole on Lake Solent but in open water if not the 'stand on' I would change course early enough so as not to need to gybe and I've never come across a wind shift to that degree that would cause me to gybe the Genoa, I've gybed the main a few times!

thanks for that. quick question........ do you have the sheet in the jaw with the jaw facing up or down? I have mine facing down at the moment with the idea the headsail sheet would fall away if needed.

Jaw facing down
