Put all of the weight forward, jibe hard, and tuck-and-roll 'cause you're going over! Seriously, I've never heard of a rolling gybe. There's the Roll-Tack technique, and the S-Gybe which is designed to take a lot of the force out of the main coming across - perhaps this is what you mean. I'm far from a master of the S-Gybe - perhaps someone else could explain it. |

ok so here is what im talking about.... i heard this trick from a friend of mine, he said he saw a video but what you do is while flying a hull gybe into the wind and pretty much one motion pop back up. it appears to be as if you are rolling anyone seen or heard of such things let me know |

You don't gybe into the wind, I think you are talking about a roll tack here. I have seen these done in A-Cats. Where they will fly the windward hull WAY up, and tack the boat, then slide in off the trapeeze, come under the main and get out on the new windward side,and sheet in and go. Similar to you would tack a laser or other mono-hull. Never seen this done on a 16. You can also roll gybe a laser, but I don't think you would have any advantages to trying it in a 16. |
