He said it wouldn't gybe in a narrow channel implying the narrow channel's
width wasn't enough. I'm sure it'd gybe given enough wind and room.


I am too, but a gybe takes less room and you're more certain to finish it
than tacking (assuming he knows how to gybe, which I'm assuming), especially
in a narrow channel.
