I have been working with the "Elmo" on a gybing mantra of "Must Flip Rig Early".

After that attemp i think it needs rewording to "MUST FLIP RIG"

Had to clean out the car found a disk in it.

found on that disk some of Pepe's camera work from last winter when he was down and out with a busted leg.

Be afraid peoples, Elmo's got video evidence[}:)][}:)][}:)]

Looked at that a few times but can't figure out what went wrong, wouldn't mind a copy of that Elmo.
Must have been a while ago, I'm using the Avalon Sail Company's rehacked 5.5.

Here is our Gybe master demonstrating to me what I am doing wrong

Doing the laydowns is one thing

Then you introduce the slowie special which is a 37knot head high chop hop before laydown
