Jobs to do when dip jibing symmetrical chute/ Ideal setup.

1. Main trimmer (jibes main)
2. Foredeck (switches pole to new working guy)
3. Mast (raises and lowers pole on mast, lowers and raises the topping lift)
4. Chute trimmer
5. Guy trimmer (squares pole)
6. Helm
7. Pit (check stays)
8. Floater (tends misc. lines when trimmer and guy change sides)

Sure people can do more than one job. And sometimes with inexperience crew
you are better off that way (4-5 good crew are essential). But you won't be
as fast and as precise short-handed as a crew who can execute.  You wont be
as fast as jibing an asym and you will avoid Jibing when it may be
advantageous.

In any weather, the helm should only be steering and someone should be
tending the main. The results of divided attention during can be really
bad.
