It is quite entertaing on a contender to get the hang of getting under the boom. If you have got your kicker tight enough it will most probably require releasing before you go for a tack but you can always try squeezing through!

Ive watched higher and faster and it doesnt seem obvious how they do it, it looks like they just took the wheels off the trolley and put the boat on the beach.

Tie two long bits of rope to the hounds and tie the ends as guys to heavy objects. One each side of the boat.
