The Gybe – Action 1

Key points:

  • Steer to maximise speed through the water
  • Trim sails for maximum speed
  • Keep the boat flat


Helm

Warn the crew that you are looking for a gybe.

Look for a good place to gybe with flatter water and constant wind. Make sure you are going at maximum speed. Don’t bear off and slow up at this point.

Crew

Ensure your kite sheets are tidy in the boat and ready to gybe.

Keep trimming the kite and keep yourself flat on the wire. Try to keep the boat going at maximum speed.
