Tack

Dynamic variation of the tack

You can foil through a tack quite dynamically if you lift the wing early toward the inside radius of the turn and then ride the turn one-handed with a strong back-lean. So the wing doesn't hover neutrally above your head, but is positioned at an angle on the inside.

In the final quarter of the tack, you grab it again with your other hand, and the wing is immediately in the correct flying position to continue.
