The way I fly a crosswind landing is to use wing down rather than crab, this means that at ALL times the aircraft is pointing straight down the runway, wheel it on as well, this means you land on ONE wheel, then as the speed drops the aircraft settles onto two, then finally the tail comes down with the stick fully forward and into wind - at which point you bring the stick fully back. Using this technique over many years I have had no problem with many TW a/c that I have been told are a real handful in a Xwind.
