[Rhodes22-list] Sailing Technique Question

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

Rummy,
 
Can you explain the last sentence in your post -- resheeting on the windward side?  I don't quite follow what you mean ... do you mean that if you have an extra hand to hold the tiller, after a tack, you resheet the loose sheet on the windward side while the sail is on the leeward side of the boat?  And then once you've tacked again, do you then resheet the other side of the boat with the loose sheet?
 
Thanks,
 
- Mark P.

Dave,
 I don't re sheet while under sail, unless I have an extra hand on  board to 
take the tiller. Bob Keller does it while using the auto pilot. I  always re 
sheet on the windward side.
