Thanks a million, guys! I see it now. It's funny once you understand what they did wrong. I've never seen both guys fall off a boat before it flipped.

Talking about gybing, I can understand why you'd do it in a race, but on a casual run, why would you want to gybe? Doesn't it put unnecessary stress on the stays? Growing up sailing Hobies, the owner would always tell me "don't gybe my boat."


You gybe to get to where you want to go. Gybing in heavy air can be a bit tricky but it's not anything the boat shouldn't be able to handle. Gybing spinnaker boats is much easier because you are going much closer to windspeed (so when the sails transition sides, they do so much gentler if you keep your speed up).
