Yep, you're going one way and want to get going the other way as
quickly as possible.

Heh. I guess it depends on what you mean by "quickly". Do you want to
change diriction as quickly as possible? Then slam the tiller over
hard. Do you want to change direction and be moving quickly after
you've done so? Then make a nice wide turn, taking your time to change
direction but keeping as much boat speed as possible.

Focus on keeping boat speed, not on minimizing the amount of time it
takes to turn.
