Gybing
Gybing is possible when the true wind angle is larger
than 120°.
TURN
The time to make a gybe is determined by the speed of
the boat to make it as quick as possible within control.
Tack and gybe prevent
When beating and running, using the autopilot is most
critical.
If the sails are unbalanced when beating, yaw forces from

96), the thrust from the sails will suddenly disappear and
