I don't dump traveler unless I'm way over powered on a reach. If its that windy you want to first crank the downhaul, the outhaul (even though it doesn't do much) and go block to block to flatten the sail as much as possible. Since I started doing a fair amount of reggatta's I don't go on a broad reach too much anymore. I'm always trying to point as high as I can, and keep boat speed up when going down wind as much as possible.
