Foolish Muse: Singlehanded Spinnaker Launch, Douse & Gybe

From my book: Singlehanded Sailing; Thoughts, Tips, Techniques & Tactics. This video shows the "Main First Gybing Method" best suited for singlehanded sailors. Make special note that I always wear my harness. Watch how I use the tweakers to control the sheet and guy. And note that you can sail for a long time before shifting the pole, or you don't need to shift the pole at all for short term situations like getting past an island, boat or buoy. Have fun!
