It really is up to the bow person to keep the jib sheets forward / above the pole / topping lift. It is not hard if the sheets are slack (no reason to keep them taught) and it's way, way easier with a furler than if you had dropped the jib. Just one other thing for bow to remember in the gybe. We don't even think of it these days. I'm assuming you're doing dip pole, not what Josh was describing?
