  Jibe
Prepare for jibing just as you did for sailing downwind: (1) head off on a broad reach; (2) move your hands back on the boom.
In all nonplaning jibes, your weight is moved to the back of the board, and most of the turning power comes from the sail.
In several ways the planing jibe is the opposite of a nonplaning jibe: Your weight is forward in the board, you sink the leeward rail, and most of the turning power comes from carving the leeward rail through the water (like skiing or snow boarding).

A jibe or gybe is when a sailing boat (yacht) turns its stern through the wind, such that the direction of the wind changes from one side of the boat to the other.
Jibing is a less common technique than tacking, as a sailboat can sail straight downwind, whereas they generally cannot sail straight into the wind (only indirect systems, such as those using a windmill geared to a propellor, are able to sail straight into the wind).
A jibe can be a dangerous operation in a fore-and-aft rigged boat because, as the boat's stern turns through the eye of the wind, the "old" leeward side of the mainsail and boom suddenly becomes the new windward side.

 Jibe - Definition, explanation
A jibe (also spelled gybe) is when a sailing boat (yacht) turns its stern through the wind, such that the direction of the wind changes from one side of the boat to the other.
However, a jibe can be more dangerous than a tack (turning head into the wind) because, as the boat turns, the leeward side of the sail and boom suddenly catches the wind.
Accidental jibes may occur when on a course that is running almost completely downwind if the wind catches the leeward side of the sail.

 jibe, gibe, gybe. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993
Jibe (1) means “to shift suddenly from one side to another” and is usually used of fore-and-aft-rigged sailboats when they turn to put the wind on the other side of their sails and thus snap those sails to the opposite side of the boat.
Jibe (2), usually combined with with, means “to be in agreement, to match,” as in Her version of the incident jibes with his.
Spelling is a considerable complication in these homophones, since jibe is a frequent variant spelling of gibe, and gybe occasionally occurs as a variant of gibe and, rarely, of either jibe.

 Stay in Control at the Jibe Marks by David Dellenbaugh
As you plunge into the jibe mark melee, your objectives should be the following: 1) To exit from the mark cleanly with clear air and speed; 2) To exit from the mark rounding in a position where you can follow your strategy; and 3) To avoid hitting the mark or breaking any right-of-way rules.
Imagine you are approaching a jibe mark with an inside overlap on another boat, and you hail “Room!” The other boat, however, claims to be clear ahead and does not intend to give you buoy room.

 Review of the Jibe from F5D UK Model Airplane Pylon Racing
Build quality of the Jibe is as good as it gets (apart from the Avionic camp) and the carbon finish wings have caused quite a stir at whatever flying site I am at so I have been very pleased with the Jibe in this area.
I had originally planned to fly the Jibe at the British Nationals but it was 2 months later before I finally flew her in an event.
I suspect the Jibe it will produce sub 70 times very quickly in the UK at the start of the new season and with all 3 UK Team members ordering 2 each it may even happen earlier than that at team practice days.

 Turn Efficiently at the Jibe Mark by David Dellenbaugh

A roll jibe is similar to the jibe we just described using your weight, except the rolls to windward and back up again are more aggressive and pronounced.
Remember, however, that although roll jibing is a kinetic exception permitted by rule 42, you are not allowed to come out of a jibe faster than you went into it.

In your example, jibe means 'to be in harmony or accord; to agree'.
The origin of this term is uncertain; it may be related to the similarly spelled jibe in the sense 'to shift a sail from one side to the other while sailing before the wind'.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that gibe/jibe in the sense 'to mock or jeer' is semantically similar to jive in the sense 'to tease or bluff'.

 Lessons from the Jibe Mark by David Dellenbaugh   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Jibe marks can be hairy because they bring a bunch of boats close together and then require their crews to perform one of the most challenging boathandling maneuvers.
Like most sailors, I’ve had my share of bad jibes where I rounded wide with my chute collapsed and let a train of boats round inside and roll over me. To avoid this you need good teamwork between skipper and crew, excellent boathandling, clever tactics relative to other boats, and a smart strategic approach.
This fleet of J/24’s is rounding the jibe mark in a fairly strong breeze, turning onto a relatively tight reach.
