[quote=Edchris177]I am amazed how many times I've saved it from what should have been counting fish with an aggressive push of the rudder, head upwind.
If you are flying a hull I usually keep the line uncleated, & let the ratchet hold most of the pull. Wear gloves so you can slip it rapidly through your hand. If it turns out I am constantly releasing sheet to stay upright, I travel out a bit.
I have the main cleat on my 5.7 set so that a pull from nearly any direction uncleats the line. Even if you are sliding down the tramp, give it a yank & let fly the sheet. Just make sure it is free, not wrapped around your leg! This makes it harder to cleat, especially from out on the wire, but it has saved a righting exercise many times.[/quote]
