The Gybe – Action 8

Key points:

  • Keep the boat carving using heel
  • Sheet the kite right through
  • Don’t release the mainsheet as you swap hands


Helm

Take the mainsheet to the tiller extension and hold both in your back hand as you would do in a tack. Let go of the tiller extension with your new forward hand.

Keep the boat turning using heel.

Crew

Keep sheeting the kite through.

Don’t stop the carve of the boat by flattening it too early.
