You can't escape it, only change its course
Tacking, gybing, or stagnant remorse

I've always thought I wore the Insubordination merit badge rather well 🤣 Tact is what I've done to strategically win a boat race...😉

Tacking and Gybing Made Easy - Harbor Sailboats
Tacking and gybing a sailboat is among one of the first lessons we teach in our basic sailing course. That said, new sailors tend to make small errors

Gybing a #j92s during the FBYC closing day race

The manoeuvres some of them are taking to avoid gybing is quite impressive. Although another seems to be avoiding tacking, too, by capsizing every time he wants to change direction.

The leading pack has gybed and Yoann Richomme has cemented his lead a little more, stretching out nearly 9nm from Dalin. They will keep gybing to stay with the pressure system they’ve hooked into - the boats are fast enough now that they usually move ahead of the system, being spat into light airs.

Gybing frightens many beginner sailors because the boom can cross the boat very quickly.

Understand the wind. Control the mainsheet. Expect the boom. Duck. Turn smoothly.

One of the most useful things we can teach a new sailor has nothing to do with tacking, gybing or sail trim.

It is sometimes simply stopping to think before pushing off have I checked everything.

I guess they just weren't gybing anymore. He needed to try a different tack, but maybe that friend could give him astern talking to.

This is why I run my responses through a dictionary and a thesaurus prior to posting.

Thou dost cant a fine doggrel toward the orange swill-belly whilst he takes his culls in for no profit. He is ninny-hammer - a coxcomb, a pedlar of tittle-tattle, a gybing insipid. A swollen pimginnit, he is!

The leading trio Charlie Dalin, Yoann Richomme and Sébastien Simon is now gybing along the ice exclusion zone, just 300 miles south of Point Nemo, the furthest point on earth from land. They remain close together sailing at average speeds around 20

Gybing without drama? We’re working on it… Learn how to switch tacks downwind without capsizing or collecting bruises in our latest #sailing blog pmrsailing.blogspot.com/2025/08/gybi... #pmrsailing #LearnToSail

I guess obviously you want to come in for the pick-up upwind so slower, but gybing around the casualty is some kind of Immelmann turn bullshit.

Mamdani snowball effect continues, congrats Providence!

*Barry Adamson was in Television, Visage, and the Bad Seeds in addition to his solo work, which I find cinematic, gybing with his movie soundtracks.

Also wasn't the day for me to volunteer coming off the pointy end to do nav & runners on a friggin fractional rig in a blow. Now with one winch.... Gybing was 🤯🤦‍♂️

After my mate said "I'm off to get another winch for tomoz" and stomped off up the pontoon with said owner in hot pursuit 🤣🤣

Fun days!

The sky was pretty epic yesterday morning in Exmouth, Devon. As we were starting the beach clean, someone rigged up a sails and smashed it out to sea. It was so windy yet water was flat as a pancake. Looking forward to getting back on the water.

I expect they’ll be a few more politician and ex-politicians gybing between now and the general election.
