terminology question
Gee dhartdallas, we keep running into each other! I just wanted to second you on that. I call "Readyabout, Helmsalee"!! And "Standbytojibe, JibeO"!! I don''t know where this "hard" stuff comes from. I like to sail her through the tack, rounding her easy to keep way on. Putting the helm "hard" over is like slamming on the brakes! I remember this one time, in a Mayor''s Cup race. We were the lead boat and were about to round the weather mark. It was NASTY with about 30+ kts of wind and a heck of a sea running. I gave us a bit of overshoot up the course and set up for the last tack. I called "Readyabout, Helmsalee"! and put the helm down but I guess my daughter didn''t hear me... Good thing she was wearing her life jacket!
