Helm
As you stand up on the new side rotate
your body forward.
Slide your hand back out along the tiller
extension behind your back.
Don’t pull the mainsheet back in
at this point as it will stop the turn.
Your focus should be on the jib and steering
the boat accurately out of the tack with the jib tell tales
flying perfectly. Notice the rudder is almost central again.
Crew
You need to now sheet the jib in but not
all the way. Leave it eased slightly to let the boat accelerate.
Your new front hand should now have grabbed
the trapeze handle.
