J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Racing Tools and Techniques Suggested Crew Assignments - Feedback Wanted

Bob Crumley from #326 provided some comments that I've incorporated. Specifically

1. I have found it critical to push the pole FORWARD before reattaching to the mast after a jibe. If there is the slightest push outward (especially in a breeze), the bowman will struggle to make the pole and things can get ugly. So the only language we use is "shove it forward".

2. Crew always needs to be ready to control a broach. You don't want to be fumbling to open the halyard jammer when water is pouring in the companionway hatch!
