Techno - GybingThe switch stance gybe is very different to any manoeuvre you will have come across before, unless you are into freestyle. Like the tack, this often needs to be performed in small tight spaces on the start line or rounding marks. Therefore you need to be able to complete a tight turn while staying balanced in any conditions. The switch stance gybe achieves this and you can relate key aspects of the Fast Fwd formula to it. |

Techno - TackingA race tack relies on all of the same aspects of the Fast Fwd formula as a normal tack. The key difference is that the race tack often needs to be performed in very small spaces either on a start line or rounding a mark so therefore the turn needs to be tighter and more accurate. |
