On my boat I have the foreguy (downhaul) attached to the end of the pole,
and run it to a padeye just aft of the forestay. Rob is right about not
being able to pull the pole forward with the lazy guy. If you trip the
pole while going DDW, you can fly the spinnaker with both sheets while
pulling

Wrong, it is impossible do that with the lazy guy.on the 34R I
always pulled it down and towards me with the downhaul which was close
to me directly in front of the forestay as the downhaul was attached to
the outer end of the pole.
I've been doing dip pole gybes for years. On my present boat and on the
Ericson 30 I had before this one. (That's almost forty-five years.) I use
separate sheets and guys. Once you get your crew trained to do dip pose
gybes, you'll be happy with how fast, and safe they are.

Hey All,
Getting new running rigging on a recently purchased C 36.
What does the brain trust recommend for gybing: dip pole or
I. too, am a recovering foredeck guy. Bob is right. The steersman is the
key. It's important that the steersman, and the entire crew, thinking of
gybing as "turning the boat under the chute". The chute simply flies it's
way down the course while the boat zig zags under it.
it's a subtle but
Matt,
I worked foredeck racing for +30 years on boats of sizes from 24' to
40'in my opinion, some boats the end for end is the way to
go.other boats the dip pole jybe is the way to go.some people
feel the dip jybe is too complicated, however, once you and your crew
get the process
On a 36? Unless you have a carbon pole / The Incredible Hulk / or both on
your foredeck: You gotta use Dip Pole and in anything more than a light
breeze a full complement of fore / after guys
As you know my boat is really a 36 footer and my spin is over 800 sq / ft.

Hey All,
Getting new running rigging on a recently purchased C 36.
What does the brain trust recommend for gybing: dip pole or end-to-end?
I.e. Can get away with only lite sheets or do we need guys as well?
Many thanks,
Matt
