Sideslip or crab immediately after takeoff on tow in crosswind?
This. I do keep the upwind wing a bit low until flying, then crab as needed to track over the ground even with the towplane until it's flying. Our towpilots turn upwind once about 200' AGL so getting back to the runway is easier in case of any issues on tow, this goes for the towplane as well as the glider.
