Please don't make such a simple thing so complicated. The inside jibe is
simple and things don't get tangled up as they tend to with the outside jibe.
If you have an adjustable tack pull it in to establish a firm luff.. Head dead
downwind while adjusting both spin sheets to bring the tack to the forestay.
Continue to feed the tack through the space between the luff and forestay
keeping very slight pressure on the old active sheet and rapidly pulling the
sail through the slot with the new active sheet as the helm is brought through
the jibe. As the spin fills release all pressure on the old active sheet. In
doing this the sail and lines are always under control and not flying about and
becoming tangled.

Matthew, you probably want to have a short, dedicated gybing tack line.
Attach it prior to the gybe (I'm thinking "inside" of pole). Gybe pole and
pre-set it, then gybe sail. When done, remove temporary tack line. At
least that's how I hope it will work. I've never done it but will find out
this spring. Bob Mann C&C35 mk I

I believe we discussed this issue not too long ago. This year
I plan to use an ATN Tacker for asymm jibes. Given that we use our spin pole
for the tack most of the time, the interesting part will be moving the tack
from the pole to the Tacker (then back to the pole again).

Subject: Stus-List Asymmetical Spinnaker outside jibe
I have been thinking about ordering long sheets for my “reacher" (A sail) to be
able to do outside jibes. 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?
