I have occasionally found tacking difficult. The technique is different in big waves on modern boats with flat-bottomed bows. I would try the tack first it soon becomes apparent if tacking can't be done even when using backing of the jib to help the tack. Of course yes reduce sail even remove main sail however you may need the main further along the path for up wind sailing or just luffing up to a buoy.That depends on circumstances. (it can be very savage and has laid the boat over if not controlled)
#Tack into the waves manual
We discovered that it was almost impossible to tack in these conditions, even with manual control - the boat being ve. My personal rule on a small tiller steered boat is to sit on the leeward side before the gybe ie windward after the gybe to ready and able to control the round up after gybe. We tested today at the upper end of the wind speeds we may have to sail in, and there were small waves (maybe 10-20cm). Horses are particularly susceptible to heat stress (they heat up 10 times faster than we do) so we owe it to them to give our hot horses that extra care in extreme heat not only for their comfort, but for their health.Like most living creatures horses have a natural way of coping with hot weather. The other rule is to have the boat going as fast as possible before the gybe to reduce apparent wind speed. Heat waves are becoming more frequent that’s a scientific fact. The main sheet being pulled out through the pulleys will soften the crash at the extremes. The standard training for this situation is to pull the main sheet in as the boat turns and the main can be pulled in but rather than cleat the main sheet you let it go loose.
