You always try to keep the power as low on the rig as you can.

So, you would never blow the tack to change the sailshape because it would move the power up. Rather, you ease the head a bit to control the luff tension and break of your chute. In addition, you open the slot at the top of the sail a bit if you ease it a little.

Take care
