"Boeing recommends landing in strong crosswinds with crab- basically landing sideways then correcting after main gear touchdown."




Boeing recommends side slips for crosswind landings except for the highest crosswinds. Beyond X kts(typically 30(+/-) kts XW) Boeing says additional crosswind should be corrected by landing in a crab. So in a 35 kt XW the majority of the crosswind will be corrected by the side slip and only a couple of knots will be corrected by the crab at touchdown.
