Typically I have raced on boats in the 33 to 48 foot range as foredeck. 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.

At present, foredeck on OPB

The baby stay has to be slack before gybing, otherwise it will get messy with
either technique...

I don't race, but I find this conversation interesting; my question is that
none of the commentary has ever mentioned the baby stay...do you race with out
it? or is it moved? thanks
