I found that setting the ring high to start is easiest for me. I can let

until you are flat with the deck for leverage but being that low is hard  
to get back in the boat.
One thing I learned from a Guy named Alex(from S.F) that while leveraged out 
you can go into a squat much faster than pulling yourself up on the trap. 
lessening the chance of teabagging (by your weight penduling to the centerline) 
 
It's also an easier and quicker entry into the boat with just a slight pull up 
you can use your bigger leg muscle to get upright in a hurry.Speeding those 
jibes and tacks. I still have to practice the timing.
