bowlines getting hung up

Tails inside ; outside tricing lines? Ive been tying bowlines on my sheets for over 50 years
very seldom get hung up when I tack I do not release the sheet until the sail fills on the other tack The filled sail pulls it across rarely when there is barely any wind it could happen
but then I just go forward and pull the clew to the other side of the stay.

Joe hit it on the nose. Don't pull, let the wind take it through. No crisp tacking but effective if you are flying a 155% genoa.
