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 significant difference as opposed to "bringing the chute across the boat". Dennis C.
