Maybe I'm completely missing something, but why are we moving the pole
on an Asym gybe?
I would think you would just lock the pole off in the most forward
position, so it doesn't move
and then just gybe the Asym either inside or outside depending on your
preference. I prefer outsides,
I find them easier and less hassle generally than trying to squeeze that
big sail through the slot...but
I've done both and they both work.
Cheers,

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.
