Brobu,
General idea is this.
-1- Trapping of starboard full speed
-2- Looking for a spot to tack.
-3- arriving at the spot and get in while letting the traveller a bit out. I'm hoping this will power down the rig enough to get in.
-4- Steer up while pulling in the traveller to get the last bit of power pushing me around the corner
-5- When head to wind, uncleat the traveller and let it run out a little just so it weather vanes with the wind.
-6- Continue to tack while staying on the old luff hull- roll tacking
-7- When the baot powers up a little again slowly move over to the other side.
-8- Continue the turn while hooking on gently
-9- get out and pull the traveller in simultaniously. Heading to the right course and preventing the main from stalling.
-10- Trapping of port full speed.
Apparently all this in 10 seconds flat, leaves about 1 second per step.
Again this is experimental and so I may change a few steps.

My version :
1, Flat trap on the wire (full speed)
2, Rudders over (still on the wire) and move back to the rear beam
3, Wait till your Bum gets wet (still on the wire)
4, Move inboard, letting a little mainsheet out as you go head to wind but wait (in lighter wind) will the battens have popped on the new tack
5, Cross under Boom, change hands for mainsheet and tiller
6, Hook on and out you go, sheeting in as you go (if required) and move forward. Check Compass or GPS for new heading etc.
