Does everyone backwind the jib like that? I've never backwinded the jib and I almost never (read maybe 2 or 3 times) missed a tack. Getting stuck with the jib backwinded has however pushed me over backwards.

I always thought the Rick White videos advised you to "fly the jib through the tack."

I was just talking with Rick about this the other day and he reminded me not to backwind the jib.

Just fly it through.

However, we still can't do it perfectly so we need to do more drilling.

Having said that, there are still a lot of "backwinders" racing and doing pretty well.

I am well on my way to being an x-backwinder
