Yeah I got my but kicked during a fun race because of VMG downwind. I knew

I really have to advise a preventer. It only takes a tiny steering error
or a wind shift and you can easily hurt someone very badly or break
something. How's the saying go? "An ounce of prevention is better than a

VMG rules!
Make sure you understand the difference between VMG (wind based) and VMG
(ground based or GPS based).
VMG wind is what you want when racing windward/leewards. It's VMG directly
upwind or downwind.
VMG that you see on a GPS is actually WCV (Waypoint Closure Velocity).
It's the speed a

Also remember, that the apparent wind angles changes a lot with a small
change in heading when going down wind. To put it another way, it only
takes a small steering change to make a big apparent wind change. I too

When sailing downwind in offshore conditions (racing to Hawaii) we would rig a

would be long enough to allow the boom to swing in towards the center line

According to the Maritime Dictionary I picked up several years ago, Wikipedia
is only partly right.
A jibe is when the sails of a square rigger luff or flutter when the wind blows
on the front of the sails. This could be from a steering error, or an
intentional steering action intended to us wi
