Bobsprit sweetie, do you know what I'm actually talking about? I
don't know what you might call the manoeuvre under sail over
there.

It's called, "why would you let go of the tiller, dopey?"

Pick a good sailing breeze (say, 15-18knots). Helm hard over.
Tack. Keep the helm hard over. Jibe. Keep the helm hard over.
Tack. (Keep the helm hard over. Jibe. With appropriate sail
handling and a fin keeler, if you've done it rightyou should by
now be spinning the boat through multiple 360sin close to her own
length, not moving anywhere in terms of VMG. It is a test of the
boats manoeuvrability and the crew's ability to handle sails.
Repeat until someone throws up from vertigo or the watching crowd
at the whatever Boat Festival applauds at the skill. finesse and
co-ordination it demonstrates. I do it singlehanded.

Now, is this a troll, Bobsprit? Or am I describing reality? Let's
see how fast you respond.

The clock's ticking Bobsprit! Your last response to me was under
three minutes, so there's nothing wrong with the internet paths
tonight! Where are you searching for the answer?
