No doubt, skill is one of the most critical factors. On a GOOD day, I make
a small % of my jibes. However, I just about have my company prepared to see
me in the office from 7:00 AM to 2:00PM, and hopefully, this will
dramatically improve my jibes. The Xantos 295II definately seems happiest
on a flood with a 7.3 Race sail. I too moved the the rear strap to the
center, as it seemed as though I was spinning out when really loading the
back leg.
