So, I've been hearing a lot from some of my frostbite fleet guys about little tricks that help the gybe initiate. I got the whole basic deal down (pull in mainsheet, sail by the lee, jerk the sheet, duck, etc....), but I am interested in any tricks out there. One guy told me that if you make a quick tiller movement to leeward that it helps initiate the gybe? I've tried it for the last few weeks and all it seems to do is make me gybe about 1/2 a boatlength late. Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? Other wise tips are also more than welcome.....
