Gybing Poster – Aft main

The Sand to Salt Gybing Poster for Aft Mainsheet Double-handed Dinghies.

This poster forms part of our tacking and gybing series for small sailing boats (dinghies) and shows the essential steps needed to complete a safe, efficient gybe .

A gybe is when the boat is turned with the stern turning though the no go zone (through the wind). Aft mainsheet refers to boats where the mainsheet comes from the back of the boat via a traveller.

This poster breaks down the manoeuvre into 5 steps and details the individual responsibilities of the helm and crew. There is also further explanation of how to change hands easily and how to position the tiller extension.
