I do it but not with the sails shaking. It's better if they're like they are
when your hove to. The don't shake and the sheets don't get tangled in knots.
And, the mainsail is ready to go. You get the anchor in. Let go the weather
jib sheet and off you go. You need to have the lee jib sheet sheeted in too.


Cheers,
