I almost never use the main - at all - in heavy wind, upwind or downwind. I roller furl till it's comfortable, and that's that. To jibe single handed, I first wrap the jib on the opposite side, pull out all the slack and then a bit more, and cleat it - easy with a self-tailer. Then I jibe. The now short sheet on the opposing side keeps the jib from wrapping. Then I set the autopilot to hold heading and trim the sail. Been doing this for a long time, locking the tiller or wheel when there was no autopilot. Dan Sheer Pegathy - LF38 Rock Creek off the Patapsco
