if I can add to it... I was taught that you tack quick and jibe slow. I usually, especially, if there is any more wind, hold it for a second at the point where the wind is directly behind and then slowly turn (and release the sheet). There should not be any big force on the sail at the turning moment.

When in doubt, chicken gybe (tack). Trim sail almost to centerline but do not cleat so it can run free on the other side. Wear gloves!

How far do you sheet in the main before/during jibing? Anything else to decrease the shock to the traveller in strong winds? As to the preventer, do you simply release it before jibing and then reattach on the other side or something fancier?
