Page: 10 / 20

4. Trimmer
• Make call on jib up or down
• Ease jib onto hobble and load winch, ready for the
quick snap of spin sheet.
• Move up to windward and start talking with Helm
about feel and speed/angles to sail.
5. Trim #2
• Pull pole/tack out if you can do both. Otherwise
pulls tack out.
• Load lazy spinnaker sheet onto winch and make
sure it’s clear for the jibe.
• Move to grinding on winch if its set off leeward winch.
6. Pit
• Ease vang to mark and release cunningham.
• Pull pole out if Trim #2 can’t do both pole and tack
together.
• Tail spinnaker halyard up from weather side deck
(out of cockpit). Make sure jammer is closed!
• Once going, ease outhaul and set vang up for
downwind.
• Clean halyards and tack line once settled.
7. Mast
• Bounce spinnaker up from mast. Make call: “3, 2, 1,
made!” Checks halyard marks and move to rail.
8. Bow
• Make sure halyard is clear and pulled forward.
• Open hatch and make sure sheets are clean and
set up.
• Dig tack out and pull forward and gets out under
jib foot and around pulpit. Keep hold of the head
the chute.
• Help feed head and tack during hoist, keeping
head forward until hoist call is made.
• Check spinnaker on the way up and makes sure
there are no twists or problems with string line.
• Pulls jib down if that’s called.
• Get lazy spinnaker sheet clear and ready for the jibe.
• Close hatch and get to the rail.
9. Floater
• In light winds, move forward to be ready to help
for jib down if needed.
• In more wind, move forward to help overhaul jib
sheet. Jib needs to come back on to help tack of
spinnaker around pulpit. Then trim until the Pit is
ready.
• When it’s windy, stay back in the boat.
Jibe-Set (Zambuca)
1. Helm
• Execute smooth steering.
• Delay the turn until the bulk of the spinnaker is
around to the new side, then complete the jibe.
• Turn the boat through turn and put bow onto
speed-build angle.
2. Tactician
• Communicate type of set and style of exit; this
maneuver can be called late by design although it’s
pulled off better with more time. It’s important to
follow the important steps—the crew all need to
be on same page.
• Releases old runner or take up new one. Or in light
air, do both runners.
3. Main
• Ease main to allow boat to bear away and flatten out.
• Jibe main across and set up to go downwind.
• Adjust for downwind settings—outhaul and
cunningham off, vang to downwind mark and lock
traveler in the middle.
4. Trimmer
• Make call on jib up or down
• Leave jib sheeted in and cleat; start to pull
spinnaker clew around headstay. In this maneuver,
it’s important that the jib not be over-eased or
pulled back in tight.
• Keep pulling clew around ready to snap the
spinnaker sheet in and get spin flying by over-
sheeting at first.
• Move up to windward and start talking with Helm
about feel and angles.
