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

The skipper used to say:

Ready about
Helm's alee.

The crew chief now says "tacking" instead of "helm's alee"

They will also mention to the crew that we are going to tack before the
sequence.
