And you want to be as close to DDW without risking the unintentional gybes as Jake mentioned.

So, how do you get there? Do you sheet/travel in first, then turn down, or turn down then try to sheet/travel in, or do you sheet first, head down then travel in, or something else altogether?

Personally, I've never even tried this, but there have been times when I wished that I had.

Obviously, this is all assuming sloop or uni with no chute...
