I raced on a C&C115 for a few years – it has an oversized spin pole and only has asyms. As Joel says, ease the sheet and do an outside of the forestay (inside of the pole tip) jibe and let the spin float in front of the boat when turning. We had a crew grab the new sheet and haul it back as fast as possible on the new side to get the spin to invert. If not, it would hang on the forestay or create an hour glass. Look for videos of J boats (I also raced on a J-80). Not much different than jibing a big genoa.

The board really only wanted to use A3 on races of 25nm or more, where there would be minimal gybing and long legs. I got them to change it to any race so that when we're short-handed we're still able to jibe be competitive against full spinnakers Bob On 01/28/2021 5:58 PM Bill Coleman via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: I would just go as far as I could, pull the sissy sock down over it and just broad reach into the leeward mark.

Does anyone know of any videos showing asails flown from a spinnaker pole? I'd especially like to see one being gybed. I've flown an A2 from my tack before, and gybed it, so that's not an issue. I think I have an idea of how it's done using a tack line and spinnaker pole, but I'd like to "see" it done as well. FWIW we do dip-pole gybes.
