The sail won't 'womp' (nice tribute to "Wind," btw) if you tighten the sheet to center as you gybe. Gybing is scary only if you neglect to handle the main. The womp becomes a snap of the battens, and then you release the sheet to your new point of sail.
100% agreed on tightening the sail as you gybe or tack. In a heavy wind things can very quickly get out of hand and you could easily end up in the water unless you have things under control.
I like the explanations in layman’s terms. How strong was the wind? I owned a Wave and I bought a crazy cheap Getaway on Facebook. I sold the Wave mainly because it didn’t have wings. I trailer the boat and the Wave was definitely easier to rig and sail.
I do try to keep the explanations simple and focus on what to do not what it’s called in sailing terms. Wind was about 6-7 mph which is good for the audio and filming. Thanks for the comment!😊
Very well done, sir.
Thank you!! 😀
