Doing some reading on "how to fly spinnaker" and getting different opinions on the best way to jibe. Some say dip pole method is best others say end for end. Not having done either before the dip pole method seems to be more logical as you don't have the pole swinging that could do serious damage or injuries?
Also some info I have been reading uses two sheets and two guys, a sheet and a guy attached to the clew and tack? They claim this allows the spinnaker to fly unpoled as the trimmers can tension each sheet while the pole can be easily connected to the lazy guy.
Now you see why I am confused!! What do most of our boats do at RNYC??
Also some go with jaws on the pole up, to allow easy release of guy, others go with jaws down, less chance of pole dropping accidentally should jaws get opened.
