While we're on the subject of spinnaker handling, when dead downwind in heavy breeze, never, ever let the center seam on the bottom panel of your chute be to WINDWARD of the forestay. That is, keep the pole a bit forward. You're probably already at hull speed so you don't need to optimize the trim.
It's a whole lot better to broach than to do a "death roll". Dennis C.
