First - push the boom and Tiller forward in the same direction until the sail fills with air, as the sail fills the boat will start sailing backwards... and once the boat is out of the "no go zone" (irons) you can sheet-in and start sailing again. It is just that easy!
Many beginning sailors find themselves getting into Irons. Which means that the boat has stopped and is pointing directly into the wind having lost all forward movement. Relax and don't worry it is easy to get out of!
