I was out in 15 to 20 knot winds yesterday and had a heck of a time gybing my Sunfish. Anyone with any tips on how to handle a gybe in a Sunfish, especially in heavy wind?

In heavy air and swells, sometimes it is necessary that I pull up the daggerboard a bit . I usually do not have to do this on a jibe, but sometimes when I am coming about
