This has been around for years and was causing major issues a few years ago before more 1/2 boats started to Reach down wind on the run - the 1/2 boat sailors just did not realise they had to give room for the gybe or even that proper course was not always directly to the mark etc.

It can be a very strong tactic on 2 up boats where you can execute a "good" gybe drop and still sail around the mark in a seaman like manner. It's much more difficult single handed as IMO the single hander is likley to need to drop the kite before the gybe onto stbd as you must then head up around the mark - unless it's light wind and then it's all a little easier.

I would expect that the sequence of events must be
1, Call for water (when on port),
2, get it,
3, get to the (your) layline,
4, gybe instantly,
5, head for the mark,
6, round it tightly (you are not allowed to come in wide and out tight),
7, head up onto a beat.

The rules don't allow you a sloppy kite drop or a crappy gybe so if you don't get back to proper course ASAP you could be in trouble.

This is one of the main reasons Stbd hand courses are avoided in most racing but actily encouraged in team racing !
