Yes Wouter you hit the spot. We only got caught maybe three times max. We did not get caught or stuck into irons so much as the boat came to a dead stop, but it was mostly a very slow tack.

It was Cary's first time tacking the blade in high wind. I should have been a little more helpfull in letting him know about releasing the main just a tad.

When I tack I usually let go the mainsheet around six inches.
