This short video mentions that even on the keel boats like Irwin 28 (3,000 lb. ballast) it may be beneficial to "hike out" and sit on the "high" or "windward side".
It shows the idea of cross-sheeting and a nice combination of the winch and the cleat.

apt quotation..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein (author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer)
