I will have to pay more attention during the tack. In eight or more I think I:
Keep the main cleated completely while coming in from the wire
Have the main sheet loosely in my hand which is the one that grabs the handle
Undo my trapeze by pushing it with my forearm the same side that his holding the sheet
Get to the middle of the boat right when it is head to wind then uncleat the main
Toss the tiller to the new side
Move to new side and cinch down a bit on the main
Hook up and trapeze out
Finish sheeting the main
This should take between 4 and 6 seconds total. 4 or better is the goal anyway. When it goes over 6 I hear about it from Eileen, even when we are practicing (fun sailing).
Later,
Dan
