A step by step guide to tacking an MPS in all conditions...
1. (upwind wiring) Cleat the main sail and chuck the tail into the boat.
2. Now you cant de-power effectively (only with steering) so '2.' comes very quickly after '1.'...unhook and 'handle it'.
3. Start to steer into the turn while moving into the boat (keep it flat).
4. While ducking under the boom uncleat the mainsheet.
5. Once on the new side leave the main uncleated and step forward in the boat till level with spinny blocks (this will stop the boat getting stuck in irons)
6. Next clip on while in the middle of the boat and pull on the mainsheet as you step onto the rack.
Hope this helps...Hugh
