• Key Concepts: 
  Jibe is a term used in the SAIL SAP Sailing Analytics component. It is a measure of the performance of a sailboat in relation to the wind. Jibe is calculated by taking into account the speed, direction, and angle of the boat relative to the wind. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Jibe can be used to measure the performance of a sailboat in different conditions. It can be used to compare different boats and their performance in different wind conditions. It can also be used to identify areas where improvements can be made to increase the performance of a boat. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using jibe, it is important to take into account the wind speed and direction as well as the boat's speed and angle relative to the wind. This will help ensure that an accurate measurement is taken. Additionally, it is important to take into account any changes in the wind speed or direction that may occur during the course of sailing. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Jibe is related to other measures of sailing performance such as speed over ground (SOG) and true wind angle (TWA). These measures can be used in conjunction with jibe to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a boat's performance in different conditions. Additionally, jibe can be used in conjunction with other analytics tools such as weather forecasting and route planning software to optimize sailing performance.
