Thanks to all with comments and questions! I've never really explained whats going on here, so let me give it a go; This was filmed at my local sailing venue, which is the Derwent River, in Hobart Tasmania. Its a venue with very short and steep chop, and I was having difficulty gybing without nose diving. A coach of mine at the time suggested I work on the technique you see in the video, where I step OVER the tiller, instead of going around the front of it, thus keeping the weight right at the back of the boat. The vang / kicker is let right off so I can get under the boom, more than it would be for optimal trim, and I'm steering aggressively from broad reach to broad reach to try and not bury the bow into the next wave and lose my speed. I'm never using this technique in an ocean venue with proper rolling waves, a more 'traditional' gybe works perfectly well. But racing on the world cup circuit I was able to use this technique every now and again when the conditions called for it, and it was a big help when others couldn't gybe without capsizing. Thanks for watching, and I hope that helps answer some questions! :)

whats with the gybing technique is there a benefit to gybing like this?

Mistrzu!!!

extreme boat - are you kidding?!

thats a silly and dangerous way to gybe -

I could only see 25 knots max

フィンクラスは難しい船ですよねえ。うちのクラブにも一艇あったのですが、結局乗せてもらえませんでした。乗りたかった。

Try an aero You might get under the boom

Why did you capsized

Doppel-Daumen hoch! Perfekt!

making it look easy

I do not sail in such an extreme boat, and I dinghy cruise only, but I have found that if a mainsail is pulled to the centre, the boat turned a few degrees to put it through the wind and then the sail s l o w l y let out on the new side, it is very safe. When the sail is centred, with the wind almost aft, it is very safe, contrary to expectations.

always do it on the power up....accelerating the boat - then it decreases the apparent wind and flick the boom over as you feel the lul

During the 11 years I had my Finn I became refined enough to gybe in any breeze. However 1. first of all the mast had to be raked back for the conditions and 2. the kicker had to be off to allow a moderate twist in the sail and 3. the mainsheet should be knotted so the top of the sail never went further forward than 90 degs to the boat. With these conditions, simply drop the mainsheet, bear off decisively until the boom comes over by itself and as you come up to the new side of the boat, pull the tiller towards you to put the boat back on course. Works every time in any conditions under 30 knts.

You need to control your jibes more. Making sure you are on a full run helps with that.

Im sailing whit a rs feva but i like laser sailors

this is great !

I have been Sailing for 7 years, but only windsurfing for 7 months. Thats doesnt sound like much, but i have been training 3-6 days a week + gym + school, and have worked really hard. Have coached myself though.

Nice face at the start..
