The skill is to spot the gust and anticipate the extra sideways force as it lands, bearing away as the boat accelerates. Note that with large spinnakers the effect of moving body weight further out will be minimal.
When racing fast boats you may have to sail higher and further to induce planing. You should make a gain over other boats not planing as the apparent wind builds and heads (VMG v. CMG).
在驾驶⾼速帆船⽐赛时,航⾏⻆度可能要更⾼且距离更远,以使船进⼊滑⾏状态。由 于视⻛的增强与偏转,滑⾏的帆船要⽐未滑⾏的帆船快得多(最佳航速 v. 最佳航 线)。
Gybing the Spinnaker 使⽤球帆顺⻛转向
The speed with which you steer through the gybe must reflect the ability of the crew members to move across the boat. If the helm turns the boat at the right speed the negative forces on it won’t create excessive heeling. Communication between helm and crew is vital as you move in a co- ordinated manoeuvre. Plan the manoeuvre together beforehand.
