[quote=MN3]HOW DARE YOU DISAGREE WITH ME!!!! lol
I understand what you are doing... you quickly release the traveler after the gybe... this reduces the momentum of the sail/boom... but you are risking powering up very fast (if your hand slips or the traveler doesn't release) and capsizing.
When i first got my supped up, hyper powerful Mystere, I used to do the same until i fell through my mainsail after a capsize. Then i learned how to soften the movement as Steve (skarr1) mentions above.
Also you mention keeping the mainsheet tight so the mainsail (leach) acts as a back-stay with the spinnaker up.
YES! i agree... this is the correct method with a spin... <!-- editby --><em>edited by: andrewscott, May 13, 2009 - 10:34 AM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
