Key points:

• Use heel to carve the boat into the turn
• Don’t let the kite flap or fly forwards so it twists
• Once steady after the gybe head up to build apparent
  

The art to a good twin wire gybe is to start the turn at speed. Keep the kite pulling and driving as you move into the boat.

Keep the boat slightly heeled to windward as the turn starts. Turn slowly and smoothly - don’t rush the boat through the gybe. Let the rudder follow the arc of the turn caused by heel.

As the kite starts to gybe the crew should pull the sheet sharply. This stops the kite twisting and helps it to blow through in front of the jib.

Now the crew needs to sheet the kite through hard on the new sheet. Once it fills the sheet needs to be released to trim the kite correctly.

Once the sails are filled the helm needs to heat the boat up to generate apparent wind. Both helm and crew need to smoothly get out on the wires as the speed builds.
