In Response To: S2 6.8 stalling on tack (sam)

I have always been told in heavy air and big waves (a) don't tack unless you are at full speed, (b)tack coming off the back of a wave with a flat spot on the water in front of you, (c)tighten the main a bit as you move the tiller to leeward (d) backwind the jib briefly and (e) ease the helm over to prevent it from acting like a break. Another approach is to jibe through 270 degrees instead of tacking.
