Well, if you're wearing an eye patch and have a parrot on
your shoulder you should yell, '' Aarrrrg prepare to come
about ya scurvy dogs''. Then '' come about, smartly, ya
bilge rats''.

Or you could use, ''ready about'', then ''coming about'' or
''helm's a lee''.

I went sailing of a J22 for the first time today and am

trying to learn
some of the terminology, but for the life of me I can't

remember the
opposite of "gybe ho"

Prepare to gybe

Ready

Gybe Ho

what is the litany when you are on tack or tacking?
thanks,
Scott
