Hi Jonathan Try this - when you furl the genoa, take the leeward sheet forward so is flush with the deck and out of the way of the spinnaker. When you gybe, do same with other sheet. Genoa is now ready to go regardless of which tack you are on. After spinnaker douse and pole forward end is on deck, take pole lift aft to mast, set baby stay and take windward genoa sheet forward and over top of pole. Ready to tack.

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.
