A textbook light-air run-to-run gybe: boat level to assist the spinnaker - Frank flies the chute through the gybe, steering with his knees while holding a sheet in each hand - Mike meanwhile delicately switches the pole, taking care not to upset the perfect spinnaker trim being maintained by Frank.

Now, Dave and Carol!!! Togetherness is great for a married couple but the togetherness would be speedier if you both sat further forward: Carol ideally should sit on the windward deck touching the shroud while Dave sits on the leeward deck at the thwart or on the thwart itself - whichever position gives the boat a slight windward heel to eliminate weather helm and to let the spinnaker fly with less effort. By sitting further forward and to leeward, Dave could also hold the boom out til it touches the shroud - something it's not doing now (note the mainsheet slack!)

Carolyn Jordon gets the helm while Alan Asselstine flies the chute. Standing in the boat while helming on the run is a useful technique which permits easy changes in windward-leeward weight placement for the purposes of fine-tuning the boat's helm balance. The only drawback is that standing like Carolyn is doing here, makes it tougher for the helm to hold the boom out against the shroud where it belongs!!!

Lori, too, should sit on the side deck touching the shroud which would ideally heel the boat slightly to windward and encourage the spinnaker to fly with greater ease (since gravity won't be dragging its weight to leeward). Jason would then likely need to hold the boom out against the leeward shroud.
