I've heard that the non-union members are known to hook the spin up
wrong, so it is flying sideways (or what, 360/3 degrees offset if we
want to get particular)

Mike,
You know that all Helms and Tacticians expect the crew to be America's
Cup experts.
I guess that's why the Foredeck Union came into being.

Hi Bob
If you are happy with your speed on current angle then gybe when true
wind angle is the same on the opposite gybe. Sure sounds simple but
most of us gybe too late or too early.
Too early on a light wind day means that you will end up sailing
deeper and slower than you intended or performing extra gybes.
Too late on a breezy day means that you will end up with wind more
forward than you would prefer and perhaps have a bit of a sporty
approach to the mark
And of course contrary to what most tacticians and drivers like to
think gybing does involve sail handling and a potential for error.
This can be detrimental to boat speed since not all gybes are
performed equally and some can in fact be very amusing to your
competitors. This fact is why there is a Foredeck Union
