[quote=erice]1st up are you releasing the mainsheet in the tack? if not the big sail will try and weather vane you head to wind...
2nd - when it's blowing well big volume hulls, like on the nacras, can weather vane you into irons, esp. if you are solo and sitting well aft trying to do a roll-tack
in that case release the mainsheet AND the traveller when tacking so the hulls can use all the momentum to get across the wind while the rig sits head to wind
once the hulls are around on the new tack SLOWLY bring in the mainsheet and traveller a little to build up forward speed and then pull them in the rest of the way[/quote]
