Actually Faster brings a good point...the vang...and itīs use.

In fact in some settings and with certain sails and configurations, releasing a little the vang can help open the roach and spill wind aloft..

Like I said, it really depends on ther boat, system and sail..

With mine, releasing some vang tension helps spill wind aloft, but If if I need with other vang tensionings I can also prevent that from happening...

Faster is right...the vang..

Experiment with your boat with tension and mild tension. Play with the vang and see.
