As a result, I will allow a few seconds of delayed stopping to assess and achieve that turn if I can.
- actually I don't believe there is any significant extension of stopping time or distance. All it takes is an awareness of the wind (head/tail), a confident mindset as to what you are going to do, and then a quick 'tweak' on the tiller at the last minute. NB All this based (thankfully) on sim only. The chances are you will get some sort of turn and any is better than none. As NoD says, memories are painful.
