helm pressure

I am not a seasoned racer, but have had moderate success in the last year and a half. With Harken''s windward sheeting car I can ease helm pressure and just about steer the boat with the traveler lead, rather than sawing the tiller. This seems intuitively more efficient, but I wonder if I''m missing something along the way.
