Halyard?? Wouldn't that necessitate dropping the sail? I've always been told to use the mainsheet (although the jib sheet would work equally well).

By the way, my last flip was in 20+ kts last fall going downwind during a race. Another boat was close to leeward so I couldn't turn downwind and I was unable to get the sheet out in time. Got the boat up in 5 to 10 minutes.
