[quote=rehmbo]When you're ready to tack:
1) Get some speed going into it.
2) Release the mainsheet a couple feet as you come head-to-wind. Don't sheet in until you're definitely moving well on the next tack.
3) Backwind the jib - don't release the windward jib sheet until you're past head to wind.
4) You can also temporarily get the weight back as you come through the wind so the front half of the hulls are out of the water.
That being said, we all screw up - especially tough in the waves. Tacking an H16 is not super easy, but once you get used to it, it should become second nature.[/quote]
