What is a Rodeo Gybe in Sailing?

  • Hi can someone please explain what is a rodeo gybe is in sailing? Why do we do rodeo gybes and why is it useful? Also is there a picture on google or something that explains this?

  • Answer:

    Rodeos, or double gybes are the same as double tacks, except they are used downwind. It is useful as one approaches the leeward mark, because sometimes one would have to sail too low and too slow to make the mark. In these instances, it is better to use a double gybe. When double gybing, it is important to head up a little bit, once again using your body weight to promote this, so that we have speed for the second gybe.
