The Gybe Set – Action 2

Key points:

  • Crew prepares to quickly get in to hoist the kite
  • Move back to keep bow up and keep the boat flat


Helm

Complete part of the bear away before you reach the mark. This means you can complete the manoeuvre closer on the exit of the mark.

Move back to keep the bow from digging in as you power up.

Crew

Prepare to jump in for a quick hoist.

You should be holding onto the trapeze handle and unclipped.

Release and ease the jib out as the boat bears off.
