[quote=pomalley]I'm surprised you risked a jibe in that wind on the first time out! On the 18 in heavier air I usually pull the traveler in a little as I start over, then sheet in as the boom starts to come over and let it and the traveler out when it crosses midships. When Carol is skipper (the only female skipper out of Trixie's??) I help her out by physically grabbing the boom and acting like a human boom vang as it comes across.[/quote]
