The Gybe Set – Action 3

Key points:

  • Crew jumps into the boat to start the hoist
  • Helm continues the turn and balances the boat




Helm

As the crew jumps into the boat continue the bear away.

Grab the trapeze handle with the mainsheet hand. Then lift yourself up so the trapeze ring becomes unhooked.

This is different to a normal bear away where you are trying to crouch but stay on the wire.

Crew

Cleat the jib sheet in about the right place for the downwind leg.

After the bear away jump into the boat and start the hoist straight away.
