Karl, try this... next time stuff the bows just before the massive gybe.. and peter pan around the forestay to the otherside...

Please report back and let us know if that helps.


Just as you Peter Pan to the front stay, dip your feet in as far you can go into the watery mass below you, I bet the boat sails on past and scoops you back up to almost where you were, it works a real treat and I'm now well practiced in the art.
