[Rhodes22-list] Sailing Technique Question

[TN Rhodey]

Dave,

As posted you route lazy sheets ahead of tacking. I just undo figure eight 
knot at the end of the sheet and pull through block. You can use a boat hook 
or jump forward and move lazy sheet inside upper. After you make the tack 
you can reroute the other lazy sheet. Same thing in reverse when you want to 
head up wind.

If solo having some type of tiller tamer helps.
