Helm
Put the tiller extension down on the far
rack. This helps your balance and keeps the steering steady
as the boom gybes over.
Keep hold of the trapeze handle and mainsheet
for as long as possible. This helps you keep your balance
again and stops the main going out just at the point it
is about to gybe.
Notice how the main is still sheeted fairly
hard. This helps the boom to gybe early so you don’t
have to over-steer. Start to get low in the boat but stay
on your feet.
Crew
Give the kite sheet a sharp tug and then
release it as you sheet quickly on the new sheet. This stops
the kite floating forwards and twisting.
Keep yourself low in the boat as
the boom is about to gybe.
