 The Perfect Gybe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Gybing is one of the tasks that seems to present more problems than it ought to.
As a basic explanation on the end for end gybe the pole is disconnected from the mast and spinnaker and passed through the fore triangle and reconnected on the other side.
A little trick on exiting the gybe is for the trimmer and pit to communicate with regard to slightly easing the tack line as the sail sets on the new gybe.

 The right gybe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The short answer is that, as you sail from one leg of the course to another, you generally settle on the right gybe so long as all you need to do is ease the sheets as you assume your new course.
Your choice of gybe may also depend on whether you want or need to be on starboard, of course, because of tactical considerations with nearby boats.
The proper gybe and set are one of the hardest concepts for new and even experienced skippers to fully understand.

 Flare Gybe, Book 8 of The Windsurfing Bible
If you ask, they will say that gybing is more fun, more dazzling, and gets more reaction from the windsurfer-watchers on shore than tacks do.
The flare gybe doesn’t quite have the dazzle of a carved gybe, but it’s still an indispensable maneuver, and you’ll still get some "ooohs" and "aaahs" from the onshore crowd.
Gybe with the centerboard down in light-wind and halfway down in moderate-wind, and sink the outside, windward rail.

The 1997 GYBE series is a complete product group covering all sailing disciplines right across the full spectrum of wind and water conditions.
The GYBE Race Slalom sails are finished with fixed heads, and can be used with 460 masts (although we recommend 490 for the 7.0 & 7.5).
The larger GYBE sails are fitted with three race cams within a compact luff pocket for excellent acceleration, up-wind ability, and speed.

 Mumm 30 Set-Gybe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
If a gybe is necessary at the weather mark, there are two ways to deal with the situation.
Communication between the trimmer and helmsman is paramount in ensuring the correct rate of turn is employed to prevent the spinnaker being blown into the foretriangle.
We found that the boat was actually easier to gybe with the masthead kite because we were going faster and there was less load on everything.

 The different levels of windsurfing
With the flare gybe the board is pivoted around on its tail by sinking the tail slightly in the water and then using a combination of foot pressure on the windward rail and sail steering to help turn the board.
To attempt a carve gybe you must be able to sail the board on a 'plane' using the footstraps.
The secret to successful carve gybing is to carry fast planing speed into the turn, and then maintain the speed throughout the duration of the turn with proper stance (knees bent, weight forward on the toes).

 gybe
This is a detailed description of the steps needed to complete a dip pole gybe on a boat in the 35 foot plus range.
The information is presented in two outline forms, first as an overview of the whole boat...essentially a managers view, and this one, reorganized to the job-specific view showing what each task should be doing, in order.
If the lazy spinnaker sheet is on top the pole (it typically is at the end of a gybe), pull out the slack and wrap the sheet around the afterguy to prevent the sheet from falling off the top of the pole.

 Sailing -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
(Click link for more info and facts about Gybing) Gybing (or wearing) is turning the boat so that the stern of the boat turns through the wind.
Gybing causes the (Any of various more-or-less horizontal spars or poles used to extend the foot of a sail or for handling cargo or in mooring) boom to swing from one side to the other, sometimes rapidly, as the wind catches the leach of the mainsail on its new upwind side.
Heading up is turning the boat to sail closer to the direction the wind is coming from.

 The Front to Sail Monkey Gybe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Nothing beats the feeling of screaming into the beach, bearing away into what appears to be a standard carve gybe and at the last minute turning it into a flurry of sail movement in, what to the observer on the beach at least, is a completely unrecognizable move.
The front to sail monkey gybe is a perfect opportunity to get into such a move that will dazzle your fellow sailors and leave you feeling elated, if not a little dizzy.
You will soon find that the loading up of the sail is the hardest to control as you come through the gybe and the best way to control this is to keep up the speed.

 Worlds Courses
Delete the gybe mark altogether which adds a further tactical run - probably a further benefit for the lighter weight combinations - but which may make the class more attractive to the majority of sailors currently outside the class.
Tighten the reaches so that we have a gybe angle around 75 to 80 degrees inside angle (100-105 degree turning angle) which would allow us to re-introduce the skill element of reaches, but this may benefit heavier crews in windy conditions.
I can even see racing without the gybe mark at all in the future as the runs are now so interesting and tactical and you can gain or loose so much if you get it right or wrong.

 Godspeed You! Black Emperor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
At first glance it seems an unusual combination: GYBE!'s orchestral improvisations are a far cry from former Albini clients like the Pixies, Helmet, Nirvana, Bush and The Jesus Lizard.
Yanqui UXO has none of the 'found monologues' which graced its predecessors; instead, it relies solely on the band's instrumental prowess and compositional abilities.
GYBE!'s work has always featured a slow buildup into a riveting crescendo, but "09-15-00 (Parts One and Two)" is too slow and the crescendo not riveting enough.

 Starboard Forum - Hypersonic Gybe Spinning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The problem was that in quite a number of gybes, the board started to spin out midway through the gybe - I have found that it is possible to recover from this but it creates an interesting moment when it happens.
I didn't really think too much of it until it happened again yesterday when I was out on it with a 6.7and the larger fin (habit the reason for the larger fin rather than a though through choice!).
In these type of conditions I would much rather be on my bump & jump or wave board, but the conditions had picked up & I decided to stay with it for a while.

 Re: Coming about down wind controlling the gybe
I haven't read this in a book or anything and actually did it the first time on an accidental gybe, to try to keep things from breaking.
When I gybe I turn the rudder, grab the mainsheet midway between the blocks and either push away, or pull towards me which essentially brings the sail in, as the boom swings through the wind, I offer resistance (sort of a spring effect) as the boom heads out the other way.

But, before you know it, it builds into a very fusion-y jam which winds down to a sparse, atmospheric ending.

This however changes as it segues into the second track, "Blaise Bailey Finnegan III", which is actually structured around a monologue / rant by the title - um - character.
