I will sincerely tip my hat to anybody for gybing one of those boats in
40 knot winds.

It's actually not all that hard, you need to be quick, very quick, and

You pick a wave, the bigger the better then start surfing it, cranking
in the main as you go, then turn her thru and let the main out as you
go.

Could you program the autopilot to do an S-gybe? That'd help, although
the timing would still be critical.

It's gotta be quick because you'll need to set up for the trough and
back of the next wave because you are definately going faster than it.

I cannot imagine doing it single handed!
The thought sends shivers up my spine!

The stakes are a lot higher than gybing other boats, that's for sure.
