This often happens when you leave your brain in the car.
There are subtlties but basically they jybed while doing NOTHING to get to the other side of the boat.
These days I try to keep my brain with the mainsheet sytem so it gets onto the boat with everything else.

Perhaps it was just practice for a fast dismount at beach.

Re grabbing the sheet off crew....stay cool, see crews learning curve and talk quietly to make gains in both sailing the boat the same way. If I was crewing I would be gone in minutes.
