>>>The step-around-the-beam trick as the boat rights is, IMO, invaluable.

This sounds like an interesting technique. So one person spins around the front crossbar and onto the tramp as the boat comes over. I could imagine it being a little hairy though for the person heading for the tramp if the boat decides to do an up-and-over. Also, I could see the spinaker pole being a bit on an obstacle for this trick.
