Karl,
Where are you standing on the boat during the jibe?
If you are on the back of the boat, out on the wire, and running downwind; wouldn't you pull the tiller and thereby drive the sterns toward your feet?
Regardless, I'd recommend some foot straps where ever you happen to be standing...
Back foot was just a bit forward of the rear crossbar.
It didn't work that way for me. The boat just drives away from you.
Been meaning to order a set of foot straps, but trying to get a new boat as well. I'm not sure how much more money I want to dump into it if I'm not going to keep it.
I think to wire well downwind single handed you really need to be on top of what's going on, and plan ahead well.
