   Cunningham some way before the mark (3-5 boat lengths), kicker at the beginning of the bear away, plate as soon as possible once on the right course and sail set, then outhaul once heading in the right direction with the plate up.

	In my view, and the process we normally go through: Kicker and Cunningham before the mark to aid the bear away, followed by board, then outhaul once you are settled after this.

	I guess this may vary from class to class, but if you are in a single hander, in order to maximise your initial speed down the reach/run after rounding the windward mark, in what order should you adjust the plate/kicker/Cunningham/outhaul? (That's assuming you don't have an opportunity to free off earlier because you have overstood the mark...)
