Coming about: turning thru the wind, about 90 degree.
The main sail changes sides on it's own, don't touch it, watch your head. The boat hast to have momentum (be moving) to execute this maneuver.
1) say "Ready about?!"
2) the crew answers "Ready!"
3) move the tiller and say "Hard to lee!" (opposite of the wind)
4) release the leeward Jib sheet (line)
5) straighten the tiller, once past the direction of the wind
6) tighten the leeward jib sheet (wind switched sides)

My favorite quotations..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein
