I have sailed the blade 1-up in those conditions. Maybe on purpose 1/2 of that time. It is amazing how easily you can depower it and go. I max downhaul, limit rotation, drop trav about 6-10 inches. prepare to swim on gybes though <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
If you re-center the traveler and make a point to gybe through a smaller arc, I think you'll swim less. It seems to work for me.
