#66 | The Mariner | ABC of Sailing | G is for Gybing (& Tacking!)

This episode we investigate ’G is for Gybing’ (Jibing for those in North America!) as part of our on-going ’ABC of Sailing’ . I discuss what it’s like to gybe an Open 60 in the Southern Ocean, mistakes to avoid, potential injuries/damage, how to deal with crash gybes that lead to broaches and why it’s healthy to be nervous of this most dynamic sailing evolution.
