The other day I remembered a tutorial that I did a few years ago totalwind of tack and I wanted to retrieve it, update it a bit and now I have material, accompanied by some photos and a video. In his day he served so many people upload it here if someone can help. I begin with photos and comments and finally put a video where you see everything more clearly.
the tack:
The most important of the tack, as in all operations is to have clear steps in the head and then, when to take them out, make them without hesitation. Before you have to get with it Having A displayed several times making it yourself.
started the turn with a tight pronounced against the wind. If we seek a level where there is little chopi water, the better.

When we see that the table can not turn over, or rather, a moment before noticing it, we place the front foot just ahead of mast foot. The rear is accompanied by a little footstrap placing it between the front and the mast foot so that your weight is distributed on the table so that it lies flat. It goes without thought, putting the feet and the table is balanced one.
grabbed the boom as close to head, taking a pull toward the front of the table, spend the other side of the sail.
is the critical moment of the maneuver, changing body, and must be done with determination, even giving a little hop to not ramble. This is the time when the turn comes out or not ... you can not left half. There is only one trick, decision. And do not care if you fall at first trying to change the body, the trick is to get caught the timing until you know that when you fall and why.
The position of the hands: the trick is also very important at the turn and may be the key to exit or not. Once started the beat strong, the rear hand crosses the front and grab the boom as far forward as possible, including noting the head of it.
Then there are 2 options, with the other hand or pick up the mast to help change the body (pivoting on), or (which I advise) grabbed the boom directly on the other hand, also very near to the top of it. A very important detail: to grasp the boom directly on the other side is very important that the hand when they cross back and pass as early as possible, stick a light pull (toward the bow of the table) for the wing change of tack. This looks very good in the video that I put down.
Once the rig in the new course, is just put the weight back, open sailing and long to start planning again. What is the most important decisions, particularly at the turn of the body in the table.
And already, with a little practice the turn out, and when you take 2 or 3 in a row and not fail. The turn is a maneuver aesthetic and very practical, since I always feel like you can get beat and more of a hurry when you Olon is a top. And especially when sailing in waves, you get an angle to the wind and lets you quickly change course in the series coming to pick it up.
