The point about trapezing being a means getting more speed is true if you are racing. I do it for fun and fly a hull for the thrill of it. Flying a hull dumps a lot of air out of the sail and the boat slows down. I also do it for comfort in a pretty strong breeze. I get out on the wire to counterbalance the force not necessarily to go faster and I find I am more comfortable with my back fully supported than sitting on the tramp luffing the sail to keep under control.

To get to the original question, to come in off the wire, slack off the main sheet a foot or more and cleat it. You should now not be flying a hull. I throw the main sheet across to the other side of the tramp and start my turn into the wind. Once the main sheet is out of your reach don't wait to turn. When the power is reduced (you will feel the change as the boat stops heeling) slide in as if you were on a child's swing. Lift your rear over the bar and control the swing in with your feet. Get unhooked pass the tiller around, hook up on the other side, shift the jib, grab the main sheet and go back out on the new tack. Sounds like a lot to do but it happens fast.
