The jib sheets tangle out on the deck. The sequence as I am in the middle of a tack is uncleat the jib sheet and hold it, release it as I duck under the boom swinging across and grab the other jib sheet, pull it tight and cleat it. If I don't get the jib sheet tight quick enough the jib whips the sheets together.
