That pretty much sums it up. Practice, practice and more practice.

Rummy,

Proper technique? Ready about, turn through wind, wet  whistle, sheet in
main, wet whistle, readjust main, tend to genny. Apply  further libation as
needed. Did I miss anything?

With the proper technique, the sheets will never get that  far forward to be
able to get hung up on the forward cleat. You need to  work on your
technique.

Stan has  a "guard" that fits over the cleat to prevent  the sheets from
getting  tangled in it.  That works, but it still  is easier in light  winds
especially to bring the genoa in short of  the shrouds and then let it  back
out, in my opinion.
