[quote=MN3][quote]I flicked the line which usually didn't work but basically my best bet was to reach over which isn't going to work in all weathers![/quote]
in heavy air you will need to move back (improving your cleatting angle) and you can trap out and also improve the angle and you can get the line lower on the tramp.. also helping it release
in real heavy air, you can furl the jib to depower the boat and it's not an issue at all
again this is just a matter of technique. all h18 sailors (esp crew) experience this and figure out a way that works for them over time on the water (you can actually practice this on the beach before pushing off[/quote]
