Years ago I used end for end with lazy sheets and guys on my J 35. It was incredible fast and smooth with a coordinated, experience crew. But in the real heavy stuff dip pole kept things in better control. On my 44 I would not attempt anything but dip pole.

My opinion is anything over 33 feet probably calls for a dip pole gybe but that's just what I'm used to. It is very important to blow the babystay before you gybe!!!!!! I have forever etched in my mind the sound of carbon fiber snapping in half as it hits the baby stay. AND.......Always grip the lazy guy the same way, with your thumb facing the clew of the sail and never let go until it is pressed firmly into the jaws of the pole with your thumb.
