Dave:

On the little 4.3 it is just me. When I go around the weather mark I release maybe a foot or two of mainsheet, depending on wind (leave the traveler set like going to weather, I know seems weird, but you will go 4 times faster this way, do to apparent wind), head on the downwind course, drop the tiller and grab the spin halyard line and go hand over hand till it is up. THEN I grab the tiller and trim spin. Once the apparent wind is flowing good from the spin, I will then trim the main and blade jib till the telltales or flowing. Really easy once you have done it a few times. I LOVE having a spin boat. OH, if a puff hits, head down quick, but not to far (as said, easy to gybe) or you will go over quick.

Good Luck,

Doug
