⛵️Instagram / totaljoyrider Before we can look at the gybe we have to look at the correct downwind sailing angles, before we can look at that we need to understand how apparent wind works.
We look at all of that in this video.
Wikipedia description - A jibe (US) or gybe (Britain) is a sailing maneuver whereby a sailing vessel reaching downwind turns its stern through the wind, such that the wind direction changes from one side of the boat to the other. For square-rigged ships, this maneuver is called wearing ship.
In this maneuver, the mainsail will cross the center of the boat while the jib is pulled to the other side of the boat. If a spinnaker is up, its pole will have to be manually moved to the other side, to remain opposite the mainsail. In a dinghy, raising the centerboard can increase the risk of capsizing during what can be a somewhat violent maneuver, although the opposite is true of a dinghy with a flat, planing hull profile: raising the centerboard reduces heeling moment during the maneuver and so reduces the risk of capsize.

I sure hope Hobie is watching...and that they are on Patreon too...
You are doing great things to make Cats more approachable to more people -- that is great for all of us, great for the sport, and at the end of the day, sells more Cats
Cheers Joe -- many thanks for many great videos!
Thanks!
How doesn't this channel have 10 times the amount of subscribers?
Brilliant video, thanks!
I know! Ha, thanks.
As always from you a 5 stars video with perfect and clear how-to tips! Appreciated also the underlining of the practical tip to keep tell tales at 90 degrees... not everybody "digests" vectors when talking about true and apparent... keep them at 90 and perform the gybe, that's it folks! Great job Joe, it's true, you make sailing a Hobie 16 an ease of mind!
Thanks very much!
Dude.
I've been struggling big time with understanding apparent wind. Thanks for breaking it down in a way that even I can understand. :)
Beautifully done. Easy to follow, another great episode. Nice explanation of apparent wind.🤙
Thanks!
Man i love your videos. i can really feel the speed and the vib. I was afraid from jybing and you make it so easy.
Keep on with this great spirit.
Love this video, Joe. Perfect explanation of wind and how it works with the gybe.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic instructional!! Wish we had these when we were learning.
Thanks for your lessons. I'm hobie 15 instructor and your videos help me in many situations! Salutations from s'agaró, costa brava!! ;)
Awesome! Thank you!
Cool explanation, step by step. This makes sense!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job on the video! Very well explained concepts - especially about apparent wind. Thanks Joseph!
VHS tape is rare these days. Great channel. Thanks
I've actually just had a look:

I’m thinking of buying a used hobie 16 next summer when I visit Minnesota for 3 weeks
Been studying your videos for a few weeks
I used to sail an amf mini sunfish when I was a kid .
Nice, you should get one, it's the best you can do for your spare time!!
I love it! It’s all physics!
And it works!
Great video Joe. Very informative and enjoyed learning the various techniques.
Another excellent video Joe. Grt job!
great video. i recently won an old AMF Trac-16 in a giveaway and am doing my first race today. great info!
wow! To win a Trac 16 - that's quite a special prize!
парусные катамараны это классно) очень люблю А-class) это мечта)
спасибо за уроки) жду новых видео)
More coming soon!
Great video Joe, something new stuff to learn. Good job.
I'm glad that it helps.
Just to clarify for myself and possibly for others: the 90 degrees of apparent wind guideline comes from wanting to be close to a beam reach, which is the fastest point of sail downwind (other than w/ a spinnaker)? That would effectively follow the same sort of "sail 45 degrees off the wind" rule as when we go upwind for most boats/sails
A few posts about apparent wind if it's helpful for others:

- www.cal-sailing.org/blogfrontpage/recent-blog-posts/entry/demystifying-apparent-wind-part-3
Thanks for those links. To put a different reason for it - that 90 apparent is the furthest downwind that you can go maintaining a flow of air over both sides of the sails.
Great vídeo!! You are on fire man. 2 videos per day. Thank you for your generosity. I am becoming patreon right now to support your channel. Two questions. No need to uncleat the main? And question two: I learnt in a cat school here in Spain to center the traveler and sheet in almost block to block when steering to jybe. And release it when on the other board.That's to avoid the violent change of side of the main when strong wind. What do you think about this technique? I believe you have more chances to capsize. Thanks again and kind regards from Spain!
In anything other than 'survival' conditions you can keep the main and traveller in the same position so that you take max speed into the gybe.
When it's really windy it's a good idea to bring the traveller in to at least the toe-strap and unclear the main so that it will run out when it fills.
Most important in the heavy wind is to go into the gybe with speed.
Will try this looks good
Thanks again joe! One question ...is this gybe technique the exact same on very strong winds, or is there something else you need to do in the stronger wind conditions?
in stronger wind the technique is the same but there is an increased importance in gybing after a gust and then straightening the rudders as soon as the boom comes across - high wind gybing video coming soon!
Hi thank u 4 this great video ! General question : as right handed I feel less secure with the tillerextension over my right shoulder and feel restrictef to deal with the main sheet , so I leave the tillerextension on my side when I need my right hand more intensivly (no problem on the left side) your toughts?
It's quite unorthodox. It's recommended that unless you have a physical impairment you should have the tiller on your back shoulder - so opposite on both tacks.
Hei Jo,
just found you yesterday but already a big fan.
One questions from my side regarding the broad reach. How should i set the main sheet?
While I have the travellor wide out (~75%), the tail tales tell me to trim the main sheet, but as I do this, i lose a lot of power.
Anyway very helpful, thanks for that!
Welcome aboard!
Yes, when adjusting the mainsheet continue to pay attention to your course - keep those tapes at 90
You should aim to get the lower telltales flying as much as possible.
Hi there, in strong wind going downwind when you want to gybe, I’ve been told even that you can let the mainsheet eased and to put the traveler in the middle, so as to de power the mainsail and safely pass it on the other side without it going to fast with the risk of generating a probably capsize… then as soon as you are seated on the other side you keep watching the direction in which you are going and the ease all the traveler as to keep it for the broad reach leg
What’s your opinion??
This is a great question.
I will reply in the Q+A on Friday.
- Bring the traveller in - this gets the sail to come across earlier.
I'll go into more detail on Friday.
Do you sheet in the main or since you are going down wind you leave it loose? Excellent episode again!
Without the spinnaker pretty loose. Check this one out - ruclips.net/video/EUrv7q57PC8/видео.html
Ok, I was running the traveler out and then sheeting in too tight. Or I was running to far down wind with the traveler out and the sheet loose. I will try it out this weekend. Thank you for the tips and the video reference!!
watching all the beginner lessons to get ready for the season and learning/relearning so much.
1. Not much discussion in this video about what to do with the jib during downwind sailing/gybing. Can you comment?
2. Also watched your video on running a line to let the jib manage itself downwind. doesn't look like a great place to tie off on a Getaway, could tie off around the center crossbar but line would exert force on the trampolines, which doesn't seem like a great idea. thoughts?
2. Yes, I see what you mean - if you were to tie the line around the beam it would potentially slip inboard fouling the trampoline.
There's not a clear solution apart from tieing a knot like a rolling hitch which is less likely to slip.
I'd only worry about using this system if you were sailing solo - if the wind was light you can very easily manage the jib without it.
1. On a boat like the Getaway - best to fly the jib across as you gybe - I think this will be best explained in the next Q+A (postponed until Saturday this week)
@@JoyriderTV got it thanks, with respect to question 1, where do you set the jib while sailing down wind (say on a broad reach). do you tweak and adjust jib sheeting on downwind or set and forget, and just sail to the bridle telltales?
@@jamesworks5598 the ideal is to adjust frequently - that works if you're sailing with a crew.
You gauge where to set it by watching the telltales - if the inside one lifts pull it in - if the outside one lifts, let it out.
Here's the video on the topic - ruclips.net/video/_bqs-XXFf1M/видео.html
Can you please help me I identify my Australian cat it's not letting me send a photo where can I send you a photo
Yes, email it it me totaljoyrider@icloud.com
I only have access to Betamax video tape. Will that make a difference.....?
I think it will give you better gust response than VHS, I think you'll do well!
Is the main cleated?
Loose but cleated in light winds.
Iv been pulling the traveler to the middle
Need a cat!¡!! ❤
I hope that you find one
I tried this, but as soon as I face the back of the boat, everything falls apart. My brain shorts out and I end up turning the wrong way. Pretty laughable.
maybe try practicing on land to get more familiar.
@@JoyriderTV Funny, you and my wife suggest the same thing. A couple hundred gybes while lawn sailing ought to do it.
VHS tape
Variable High Speed
Yes!
