What's a Nth River gybe? Never heard the term.


It's a variation of chicken gybing.. turn very quickly from DDW to just
above beam reach on the new tack, the main comes over hard but doesn't
come up against the sheet or the rig, just luffs on the new side. Then
quickly bear away to new course. You can do it while surfing, but of
course the risk is getting caught by the crest while turning.


"You" can do it? I'd say it's a very bad idea in a big sea.
