How do you guys think i got the rudder out of the water!
Never ever have an accidental jibe! You can be badly hurt and break expensive stuff. Even controlled jibes in high wind should be avoided whenever possible. Just track around the long way. If you do need to jibe, have someone crank in the main as fast as possible durnig the jibe so it doesn't go the full distance gathering speed. I took a boom to the top of my head when an idiot Skipper want paying attention on the down wind leg. I never sailed with him again. He didn't even give a warning.Its the accidental jibes that will mess with you.
