How to Sail - Single Handed How to Gybe: Part 1 of 5: Introduction

Are you learning how to sail? This video introduces the concept of gybing a small sailboat. Gybing is the manoeuvre where the boat turns as you are sailing away from the wind. As you learn to sail, Gybing is considered slightly more complex than tacking which we recommend you master first as you learn how to sail. With the Gybe the trick is balancing the boat. Be prepared to move your weight extremely fast as the boom flicks across the boat. This video is one of 109 videos in our how to sail series.
