Step by step:
1. on distance race, realize you are trying to run the spin way too high or low, say "crap" and call for the spin to be brought down.
2. quickly try to remember whether it works better to release tack line first or halyard while sorting out the mess of lines on the tramp.
3. release halyard and/or tack line
4. pull on snuffer line while the skipper tries to figure out where to grab the stupid spin sheet.
5. yell "BUTT CLEATING" as the crew is standing on the snuffer line while pulling.
6. realize the spin is not being snuffed because:
a) the halyard auto cleated
b) someone is standing on the snuffer line again
c) the darn thing is hung up on the hoop
d) the line has kinkied and isn't running through the block
e) you have already run over the thing
f) skipper drives into the wind wondering if yet another daggerboard broke
7) have the crew invariably crawl up the bows to release kite from under boat
8) finally get the spin in the bag
9) decide to call it a day because the crew is suffering heat stroke from pulling on the lines/crawling on the bows/ getting yelled at by the skipper.
10) do it all over again in a vain attempt to "get it right"
