[quote=coastrat]release it...your hands are full already, no harm can happen when it's totally out of the way. after the tack/gybe when you are on the high (windward) side and you are situated, then grab it. it helps if the end of it has a float or is sealed, otherwise it gets some water in it and makes it harder to lift out of the water. you can always steer with the crossbar during the transition so your never "out of control" unless your friends/family tell you your out of control :-D[/quote]
