[quote=rpiper138]I learned to gybe tightening the traveller on skiffs where being in the center of the boat after a gybe guarantees a swim. The cat is much more stable and allows you to grab the sheet without having to rely on your crew for weight balance.
When I sailed keel boats (in my youth), grabbing the main sheet just relocated me from one side of the boat to the other. The older fatter version of me may have more luck.[/quote]
