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.

We do lots of headsail changes on yhe go the old way i guess never released the clew under load. Can?t imagine how that wotks out good still learning i guess
