Default newbie with more tacking questions.

sailed with another fellow today, who suggested that during the tack, that i
not pull the head sail sheet in too soon, but leave the sail full as the
boat swings around, and then only after establishing new heading, trim the
sail.

only got to try it once before a little pop up thunderstorm arrived, putting
us back into the dock. seemed to make an improvement on my tack. will have
to wait for another chance to try.

comments?
