"Hoisting in high winds should be done with released main sheet... "

Hakan , no concerns about losing the mast sans the backstay effect of a sheeted main ?

Regarding hoisting from the wire - how 'bout blowing the cunningham and rotation w/in a couple boat lengths of the windward mark , play the traveller out during the rounding and recenter just before setting from the opposite wire ?
