Thanks for the replies. That answers my question on the jib. The traveler line and main sheet are separate. I can let the traveler out all the way. Problem is the main sheet seems short as I cannot get the boom all the way out. In the high winds I could not round up. I had to keep the boat driving down and eventually stood it on the bows, rudders out of the water and the boat laid sideways. Also we were reaching before the storm hit. Once it hit I didn't want to send the crew down to retract the board. Plus I doubt he'd be able to get them up with the load.

What about the spin?

I have video of it I'll post soon.
