Hi Claus -

I am normally crew, and I have sailed with a fair number of skippers. Generally, crew handles all control lines, with the skipper taking the main only for a few seconds during big changes. In the conditions you describe, I think your crew would probably only have to worry about main trim, as the traveller is already down and the cunnigham is at max setting.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
