I don't know how every one else does it single handed but I always drop the traveler way out as I round A mark, bear off deep, let go the tiller, pull the tack, hoist the kite, trim the sheet with one hand and tiller with the other, head up, trim kite, sit on sheet, pull up traveler to where it needs to be depending on course and wind strength, leave it, return to trimming kite with one hand and steering with other. I can usually release the mast rotator and cunningham at some point shortly there after.

But that is the easy part. The exciting part is the snuff at the C mark with boats all around, all going fast, all snuffing spinns! I drop the traveler again so it will not head up and flip over while I quickly drop halyard, pull snuffer line then release tack, fully snuff as the boat is rounding up now, usually, grab tiller and traveler, steer upwind and bring traveler up, reach for rotator and cunningham while going out on the wire, wind permitting.

Yes, it's much easier to have a crew do it all! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
