I've got tacking down pretty well now. I have however had a hard time getting moving again in heavy wind. Once the tack is complete, I sheet in and expect to move forward but find I am "crabbing" (moving sideways). I'll sheet out, assuming I've pulled the main in too tight and try to slowly bring it in again but typically I continue to crab. I'm not sure how I eventually get it move forward. What can I do to get it moving forward quicker?
