Running hard under chute at night barely being able to hold the boat, we came to the point we had to gybe. We felt extremely unmanly dropping the chute, hauling the main in, letting the main out on the other side, and raising the chute again. What kind of racer does THIS? This is something cruisers do when not reading AARP brochures :( Turns out we GAINED a few places over boats that had sail wrecking wraps and rigging disasters doing it the normal way :)
