If you do it right, that outside gybe is way easier than an inside gybe. I used to set, douse, and gybe the kite on my 40 singlehanded.

All the videos I have seen for this technique have the spinnaker tack on a sprit or attached forward of the headstay. That seems pretty simple, but I don't have an attachment point there. My tack can either be attached directly to a padeye on the deck behind the forestay or to a strap around the furled headsail and then to the padeye. I think that means that every time I jibe, the tack line will wrap around the headstay. Is that a problem? I could douse with the sock and redeploy after jibe (sounds slow for racing) or add an attachment point to the pulpit for a block so I am forward of the headstay. Am I missing something? How do others without sprits do this? Dave S/V Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT <pastedGraphic.tiff> Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
