Gybing is a term often used in sailing, which refers to changing the course of the sailboat by moving its stern through the wind, causing the sail to switch from one side of the boat to the other. There are different synonyms for the word gybing, depending on the context and the region. In some areas, it is called "jibing," "tacking downwind," or "butterflying." In other places, it is referred to as "wearing ship," "rounding up," or "jibing the boom." Regardless of the terminology, the technique is crucial for sailors to master, as it is commonly used in sailing races and maneuvering in challenging weather conditions.
