Spinnaker Troubles

I'm making this very difficult!!!

I haver just settled down on the new gybe. It's pretty windy and I during the gybe I had a HUGE wrap arounf the forestay...A lot of struggling, pulling and heaving later and I got the spinnaker down with no damage luckily. Up went the new kite and I lost the sheet. AAargh! Eventually got it back but I'm way down the fleet now...good thing I can take this as a discard...

15 miles to go, the pilot just surfed at 13kts down a wave!
