[C320-list] double main sheet control?

[Gene Helfman]

 Having sailed for 50+ years on boats with only one main sheet, I'll admit
to being totally perplexed with the port and starboard sheet arrangement on
the 320, especially when going upwind in anything other than light air.

My instincts tell me that hardening the upwind sheet should pull the boom
down and also bring it to windward (recognizing that the traveler also
determines boom alignment).  To do this, do you slack the downwind sheet?
 When I do this, the boom moves quickly downwind, making it even harder to
pull the boom and sail to the upwind side, often requiring putting the
sheet on the winch and cranking hard.  Is there a protocol?

thanks,
