Hi Jonathan - I've uploaded a document (link below) that explains crew positions / tasks at various maneuvers. It's 94kb - I think on the edge for a message post here. I put this together when I moved to CT and basically had to build a crew from scratch with non-sailors. 99% comes from a manual put together for a boat called Greyhawk. Some people can get some learning from reading this; others will need visual / practical experience first. I think it provides access to concepts / terms before on-the-water experience.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oZ17ORKwEeW1VV1NCRWpsbjQ/view?usp=sharing I have swapped the primaries / secondaries on Mojito - the primaries are forward, which gives the jib trimmers a little more room while allowing them to face forward to trim from behind the winch (our main traveler is on the bridge deck too). We use the (aft) secondaries for the spin sheet initially, but that's sometimes gets swapped to the primaries during gybes. The sheet runs from a turning block aft on the rail to the winch and then across the cockpit to the person trimming on the side deck (way aft of the shrouds). That seems to work OK - the main and guy trimmers shouldn't be affected.
