Charley and Anna, Next time you crew on the Pearson, tie a short 1/4" or 5/16" line to the clew of the head sail, forming a loop about 4-5" long, positioned above the sheets knot. Then, next time you set the whisker pole, attach it to the loop, not the sheet. That will keep it close to the sail, and it will speed up gybing the pole.

I don't mean to hyjack the thread, but you sparked a memory: Speaking of the Skyway Bridge, while in college in St. Pete, where I learned to sail, I went along with 2 guys who took out the school's Flying Junior one Saturday and we sailed under the old Skyway Bridge, crossing under the next to center span (roller waves 3-4 ft). It was one awesome sail! Only one span was in operation then, the other was still being built (1970). Later that year, we were allowed to walk out on the second span to watch the beginning of one of the Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC) races, St. Pete to Ft. Lauderdale. I've got several great photos from above of the maxis of those days, including one called Windward Passage. She had to give the second place boat over 4 hours on corrected time and still won!
