Steering a sailboat involves using the rudder to change direction and adjusting the mainsheet and jib sheet to control sail tension.▶ 0:00 Sailing upwind requires tacking, a maneuver where the boat turns through the wind at a 45-degree angle.▶ 0:36 During a tack, the mainsail self-tacks, but the jib sheet must be released on the old side and tensioned on the new side to maintain proper trim.▶ 0:51 As the point of sail shifts from upwind to downwind, both sails require progressively more release.▶ 1:56 Sailing directly downwind can cause the jib to collapse in the mainsail's wind shadow; this is corrected by wing-on-wing sailing, also known as a butterfly configuration.▶ 2:39 Changing direction while sailing downwind is called a jibe, which involves turning the boat so the wind crosses the stern and the boom swings across the cockpit.▶ 3:02 Proper awareness of the boom's movement is essential to avoid injury during a jibe.▶ 4:02
