Jake,
So you blow the traveller entirely? And are you almost immediately travelling and sheeting back in? Can you do this by yourself? Pin the tiller extension while sheeting? It seems like a handful, with little room for error. Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I do blow it entirely (or 90% there). Sometimes it does take an extra couple of seconds to get the main in and if it's coming in a little slow, I ask the crew to wait to sheet in the kite until the main is firm enough to support the mast. I try to keep the boat as flat as possible coming around so the crew can get the kite up easier.
