Hope you agree the helmsman and how well he holds the course ddw has a lot to 
do with mitigating danger during a spin jibe and if done properly there should 
no be excessive force on the mast end. Essentially the helmsman has to be able 
to free fly the kite ddw during the jibe until the contacts at either end have 
been secured, sheet end first. My 35MKII is setup for end for end jibes with a 
fairly substantial aluminium pole that is over 16 feet long, J is 16’5” if 
memory serves.

  You will get differing views on end for end or dip pole.  Personally, I 
prefer the dip pole method......maybe that is because I was the bowman on 
different boats including a 1985 C&C 33 MKII where we only did the dip pole 
method.

  Dip pole is especially better in heavier air, by better I mean safer and way 
easier to accomplish.....there is no struggling or danger to the bowman if done 
right.  I always positioned myself in front of the forestay between it and bow 
pulpit squatting down, not standing up with my chest virtually resting against 
the forestay .....lazy guy in one hand ready to receive the pole as it comes 
down and across with the other hand.

  When it is choreographed correctly, it is a smooth, safe and effective means 
of controlling the chute in all conditions.

    Hi all,



    I’m looking advice/recommendations on symmetrical spinnaker jibing on my 33 
MK II



    I’ve got a single set of spinnaker sheets



    Should a deploy and add lazy sheets and guys?

    Or use a twinning line barber hauling system 



    How to handle the baby stay?  Should I disconnect it and To facilitate a 
Pole dip or do pole end for end jibing. 



    Appreciate anyone’s thoughts and opinions on this subject.
