Interesting, release the traveler on the gybe in high winds to avoid a capsize.
Yesterday on a downwind leg I over stood the layline a bit. I traveled out and pulled the spiny tight. We were trucking along very nicely almost on a reach and the boat felt very fast. I was trapped out with Tod sitting where I would sit.
how much did you travel out?
I think the reason why letting the trav out when gybing decreases the risk of capsizing is that it decreases the tendency of the boat to round up too quickly before the spin starts drawing.
