Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London

"Stand by the main-sheet to jibe!"

He put the wheel hard over, and the yacht whirled around
obediently. The main-sheet slacked and dipped, then shot over our
heads after the boom and tautened with a crash on the traveller.
The yacht heeled over almost on her beam ends, and a great wail
went up from the seasick passengers as they swept across the cabin
floor in a tangled mass and piled into a heap in the starboard
bunks.
