best analysis/tutorial on this move! cheers!

I need 8m most of the time and handling it through heineken and such maneuvers is pretty difficult. I wish i had enough wind to use 4 or 5

I’m just a beginner, but in a race would you not be tacking upwind?

In light winds with 6m is this better than a normal gybe to avoid running into wing?
