How to Gybe/Jibe a Sail Boat (Sailing Virgins) Ep. 23

How to Gybe (aka Jibe) a Sail Boat If you want to refine jibing/gybing IRL, get yourself on one of our ASA courses, as this is a critical skill for your 103/104 certification, as taught in our Intermediate Course :) https://sailingvirgins.com/courses/ Introduction Gybing (aka Jibing) is turning a boat so its stern passes through the wind. It is the opposite of a tack. The angle that the boat will turn in a typical gybe is around 60-100 degrees Two types of gybing are covered here: standard jibe and slam jibe Some people are afraid of gybing. However, it is fine if a decent method is followed. When hearing the term “gybe”, think “mainsheet”. This is the most important line in a gybe. Gybing the foresail is no big deal, just don’t dump the old working sheet (if the sail goes in front of the boat, it could take you ages to get it back in) If all else fails, wear round (other names for this are Chicken Gybe and perhaps Wending) Pre-Gybe Helm brings the boat to between a broad reach and dead run. Then the helm makes the call “Prepare To Gybe” (or whatever is agreed on your boat - some people prefer "Standby To Gybe") Secure the traveller Get out of the “hot zone” (where the mainsheet will cross the boat) Don’t sit on the coamings (above the seat in a cockpit) or else you may get intimate with a winch. Standard Gybe Steps Bring the mainsheet in so the boom is near the center Helm makes the call “Turning” then starts the turn Mainsheet trimmer removes the handle Helm makes call “Gybe…. HO” with the HO happening when the leech flips over Helm counter-steers to ensure the boat stays on a straight heading Mainsheet trimmer eases the mainsheet Ease foresail working sheet while taking in on the opposite sheet Slam Gybe Steps Ensure the mainsheet zone is clear and traveller is centered Put the vang on in order to pull down the boom (and tension the leech) Helm makes the call “Standby to Gybe”, then “Turning” at which point he starts the turn Make sure someone (it could be the helm) guides the mainsheet across Smooth Gybe You want to keep the speed of your boat up during a gybe This reduces the stress on your rigging and makes the gybe much smoother Bring the mainsheet in, and just when it’s close to center, start the turn As soon as the gybe-ho call happens, ease out the mainsheet and counter-turn the wheel. Summary Gybing is safe if done properly Lock your traveler, think about the mainsheet Counter-turn as soon as the boat gybes, to stop risk of heading straight into a close haul on teh other tack Ease that mainsheet as soon as the boat gybes Be clear on your calls Have fun!
