Pull the windward jib sheet until the jib is backwinded, cleat it off. Push the helm over. Ok, I can see a problem with this approach if you're flying a 150% genoa. Or even if you're using a smaller one and it's blowing. A difference between dinghy sailing vs. keelboat. //Walt A slow tack with the jib backed will slow the boat down so it doesn't want to tack back over. |
