The last time I did this, it was blowing 25 to 35 mph (not knots) and I used the jib trick to help. I don't grab the dolphin striker, I go to the down hull. I also make sure that both main sheet and traveler are uncleated as well as the jib sheet.

We had just come about and were started back across the lake when the main sheet started dragging through the tramp. My crew went in off the wire and pulled it back aboard then went back out and put his weight on the wire, not realizing that he had come unhooked. I immediately slacked the main sheet to keep from going over and I sailed away from him trying to come about. The wind was so strong that I couldn't so I gave it more power and just went over and turtled. By the time I went over I was 300 yards away so I had to get the boat up by myself. Meanwhile, a power boat had picked him up and brought him to me. We were double trapped and flying a hull most of the time that day.
