[quote=Dogboy]I didn't initially watch the video, but after taking a look, I think you could have easily reversed the rudders and gotten the bow to swing around onto the new tack (forget trying to reach up and manually backwind the jib by hand in those conditions - not going to work).
The main problem I see is that you just weren't sheeted in hard enough on the main (and too hard on the jib), so the boat just parked when you tried to tack. I would put on a lot more downhaul in those conditions. It will help to settle down the boat and allow you to sheet harder.
