That was a poor wording on my part. We have released under
load a few times due to overrides or whatever else happens on
long races when we get tired. Once in the dark I managed to
pull the jib sheet and spin sheet through the turning block.


For headsail changes we put a temporary line on a sail, hoist the
new sail and move the sheet to it then trim in. The old sail may
get released under load.
