The Gybe Set – Action 5

Key points:

  • Helm continues to steer into the gybe and runs into the boat
  • Crew carries on hoisting but keeps his elbows low


Helm

Once the kite is ¾ of the way up the helm gybes.

Run into the boat keeping the boat turning as you go.

Crew

Continue hoisting but keep the pulls shorter.

This stops elbows coming high and banging on the boom as it floats over.
