Default sheet handling of a 'loaded' winch, when tacking ?

Please address the process using plain/older winches, as well as the
latest.

Thank you,

The sheets are not under "serious pressure" when the genny starts to
backwind, which is when you strip the old sheet off the winch. Is there some
"technique" to this, apart from speed?
