Lots of good advice/experience on this subject....interesting reading.
From someone who has worked foredecks and has executed jibes from there
on various sized boats, my preference would be for 'dip jibes' simply
out of selfish reasons, my safety!
I position myself in front of the forestay, lazy guy in one hand,
receive the pole/guy and release with the other hand, attach new guy,
call "MADE" ....beats the hell out of man handling a spin pole in a
breeze and rolling sea trying to make attachments.
Don't believe me, go try it both ways on a big boat in a breeze!
