Our main trimmer was under water , thoughtfully placed there by my 220Lbs and driven by a chest full of sheet{main, that is]. It was unsettling to see her jacket fully deployed once we got below to get out of our Puget Sound Water.It took about 5 min. to be inflated. Mine , on the other hand did not deploy at all. Guess I should have put it on . It will be on Sat. when the boat leaves the slip.We jibed in 25-30 knts, at about 10 knts of boat speed. We will also go over procdedures at least twice with any newbies. Thank God there will be a next time. We've never broached the X119 before. I know, it's not an Ericson, but it is fast and usually solid down wind. Harold
