I agree with the prior comments on coordinating the turn with the trimmers,
our boats carry lots of cloth and you have to winch everything with any

boat too much. Our fully crewed racing tack would be to start the turn
slowly to gain height, then a slightly faster turn into the new tack, but
modifying that for shorthanded would be faster and is what we do when
