I don’t think of it either.
Of course that is because I am old and way too heavy to be allowed on the bow Mike Persistence Halifax (yet another “not a c&c” boat – however I do race regularly on a 115 so I guess that counts – and a 99 as well) From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Tim Goodyear via CnC-List Sent: Friday, August 01, 2014 8:57 AM To: Indigo; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Roller-furled jib sheets and symmetrical spinnaker It really is up to the bow person to keep the jib sheets forward / above the pole / topping lift. It is not hard if the sheets are slack (no reason to keep them taught) and it's way, way easier with a furler than if you had dropped the jib. Just one other thing for bow to remember in the gybe. We don't even think of it these days. I'm assuming you're doing dip pole, not what Josh was describing?

I am setting up the pole with the lazy jib sheet over the pole and forward of the pole topping lift (taped back at the mast end of the pole) Set goes fine, then furl the jib. However after a couple of gybes, I find the jib sheets always need re-running before being able to unfurl the jib before douse.
