Just purchased a furling code zero (g-zero 65), for my H348.
Does running the sheets between the code zero and furling jib work? Or does the lazy sheet get stuck? 

Or are most people running the lazy sheet on outside of the code zero? To do this I am assuming you need to have already decided if you are unfurling port or starboard.

I made a similar upgrade to a light air furling gennaker this season. I run the lazy sheet outside the luff of the Gen, so if the wind is decent, I can do an outside jibe of the Gen. Just have to keep enough tension on the lazy sheet to keep it above the bow sprit and otherwise out of the water. Love the new sail in winds 5-12 knots as it adds a couple knots of boat speed, as it is 3x the sail area of the self tacker. In summer crusing, the wind is often light and on long passages, reaching is what we do most. In lighter air, I can tack to about 70 degrees TWA, mayby 55 degrees AWA and fall off to 140-145 degrees.

I found that the best way to do an outside gybe with the large gennaker (86.5m2) is to pull the main in to close to the center before the Gybe is initiated. That way as the boat is turned directly downwind, releasing the working sheet will allow the clew to fly in front of the boat and the lazy sheet can now be vigorously pulled in as the boat completes the gybe. The mainsheet is then released as desired. If the mail is not pulled close to centerline, as the boat is  steered downwind and the working sheet released, the gennaker will simply collapse and wrap itself around the forestay as the gybe is completed.

I am finding that my new Hanse 348, with deep fin keel is difficult to hove-to.
I've tried reefing the mail as well with little success. I realize this is a problem with modern designed hulls and fin keels.
Has anyone experienced the same? Any suggestions?
Thank you, Al
Peace through Sailing
