[quote=halliske]Uncleating the Main lets the sails release water from the rigging and un-weight the weight above tramp . also helps lift the mast when the wind gets under the sail. If the balance requires the help of the wind I like pointing the mast into the wind.. If not, i like pointing the bow into the wind cuz.. 1. the wind does not try to push the boat all the way over. AND. the boat is in Irons once it is upright and the boat does not have a sail by it's self!! ( I enjoy a long swim) H[/quote]
