Little things that make a difference

Are you pulling your lines the wrong way? Quantum Sails wants your pinky lock engaged:

There’s a reason you don’t just grab a line from underneath and pull. When you pull that way, you can lose control of it much easier. The line can slip, jump, or run faster than you expect, especially when it’s loaded and suddenly you’re reacting instead of managing it.

Going hand over hand, thumbs toward your body, locking your pinky, keeps everything controlled. You’re guiding the line the whole time, able to ease or trim instantly and if something loads up you’re already in a position to let it go safely. It’s not about strength, it’s about control and once you feel the difference, it’s hard to go back.
