The idea is the sail goes out in front of the boat and then to the other side smoothly with some tension. Right way: Ease port sheet and pull starboard sheet. Sail crosses over with the clew out in front without either sheet ever being totally slack.
Wrong way: Let port sheet go. Sail flies all the way forward like a giant flag. Wander over to the starboard side of the boat and pull the starboard sheet in. Meanwhile the 30-50 feet of slack port sheet end up under the boat. I am sure there are other variations on this.
