Default Seamanship Question #39

You are sailing directly downwind in a racer/cruiser,
with a full main set in 25 knots of wind, with gusts
to 34 knots, and want to set a #3 Jib wing and wing
on a spinnaker pole. The wind has been building
and is expected to peak at 35 knots and the waves
are building also. Your goal is to get the boat surfing
with an inexperienced crew. You don't want to set a
spinnaker because you plan to use it for racing the
next few weeks and can't risk damaging it.

General Question:
What are the steps you would take to set the #3 jib?

Specific Questions:

1) How would you securing the spinnaker pole in position?

2) How you would set the #3 jib once the pole is up?

3) What special techniques would you use rig it?

[3 points]

Bonus: 1 point for the best answer.
