Here's a jibe of mine I posted for a discussion in another thread. 4.7 sail, 77 liter board, I weigh 160lbs. I've posted plenty of jibe videos. And I suspect you believe I can jibe.

Nice tack.
But that well powered, you jibe fully planing, never go below 17 mph, and actually SAIL, as opposed to slog.
I do see the need for tacking when underpowered barely planing and needing upwind distance. Rig bigger. |

Thanks. I'm not arguing against jibing as I'm sure most people would agree that jibing is much more exciting, but a tack is a nice tool to have in the shed.
