While sailing how does tacking work?
Tacking, changing direction by turning the bow (front) of the boat into the wind until the wind is pushing on the opposite side. Ex: If the wind is coming from starboard (right), you would turn the boat to the right until the wind comes from the port (left) side. The tacking procedure will require to only change the jib (front sail) from one side to the other. Jibing (or gybing), on the other hand is a similar maneuver, except that it requires turning the stern (rear) of the boat into the wind. This will also require to change the jib sail from one side to the other, along with easing the main sail from one side to the other while doing the maneuver, to avoid possible rigging damage due to the very quick swing of the boom. A much less comfortable and safe operation then tacking.
