Was chatting about this idea that probably isn't worth implementing but wondering if it would be class legal. Instead of timing the pull on the upf*cker during the bareaway when it deloads, charge a heavy duty bungie http://www.downwindmarine.com/Straps-Heavy-Duty-Rubber-with-S-Hooks-p-90890064.html under the tramp so you pull the line on the reach, it is pulling up and cleated with tension on but you focus on driving and as you bear away it pops the board as soon as it deloads. Crazy?

Re: preload board uphaul so it pops exactly when deloaded?

Sounds like a good way to jettison an unworthy crew
Seriously though, its an interesting idea, but one that would be really really tough to get right. I think there would be way to much variation in forces involved.
