Actually, you might mean you tried outboard sheeting, not a Barber hauler. On Touche' we go to outboard sheeting very quickly to open the slot.
As soon as the headsail clew lifts above the lifelines and the jibsheet touches the lifelines, we're rigging a snatch block to the toe rail and attaching the outboard sheet. Our outboard sheet has a snapshackle for easy attachment to and release from the headsail clew. We lead it to our secondary winches. We leave the jibsheet inactive on the primaries ready to go if we need to trim in to go up. We locate the snatch block slightly forward of the jib car. We ease luff tensions to move drafts aft. Set the vang to keep the top batten parallel to centerline. Leech tell tales should be streaming aft. In the heavier air conditions you described, I'd be thinking about trimming the main with the vang to maintain heel. Twist off the top to keep the boat on its feet and the keel lifting. Play the traveler if you experience weather helm. Dennis C.
