ok for anyone that cares, i need to clear this up

first off, a jib is the "front sail" on a typical sloop (single masted sail boat)
really big jibs used when there is not enough wind are called "genoas"

the thing that would smack you when you tack is called the "boom" (ha ha funny i know), it's the horizontal pole that attaches to the mast and the mainsail.

if you tack with the wind behind you, that is called a "gybe" (pron. "jibe", like jive with a b)

ampethamines suck.

i'd rather keep my soul, thanx...

Boo-urns indeed. Even if you don't like jib on its own, don't tell me it doesn't go well with dissociatives! It's always fun to see what happens when you've got no motor control AND you can't sit still. And how many people would like ecstasy if it didn't give you any energy? The only reason people like to go out or dance or fuck or pretty much do anything more than lie on the floor while on e is because of the jib.

Oh, but if your soul's important to you than you probably should stay away. I already sold mine for some more jib...

Don't apologize, pretty much 90% of the threads started on this msgboard are inane crap

btw, you can't be expected to know everything. Just know that you should never try jib, no smoking it or snorting it.

not a dumb question, we're just jaded, bitter, sarcastic bastardly assholes here.
better to ask and hear a bunch of fist hand experiences and shit rather than to venture out and try it only to have it ruin your life like it has so many others.

A jib is a triangular staysail set ahead of the foremost mast of a sailing boat. Its tack is fixed to the bowsprit, to the bow, or to the deck between the bowsprit and the foremost mast.

Jibs and spinnakers are the two main types of headsails on a modern yacht.

Confusingly, any jib is technically a staysail, but the inner jib of a yacht with two jibs is called the staysail, and the outer (foremost) the jib. This combination of two jibs is called a cutter rig or a yankee pair. A yacht with one mast rigged with two jibs and a mainsail is called a cutter.

A fully rigged schooner has three jibs. The foremost one sets on the topmast forestay and is called the jib topsail, a second on the main forestay is called the jib, and the innermost is called the staysail. All three sails are both jibs and staysails in the generic sense.

On yachts with only one jib, it is common for the clew of the jib to be further aft than the mast, meaning the jib and mainsail overlap. An overlapping jib is called a genoa jib or simply a genoa.

On cruising yachts, it is common for the innermost jib to be self-tacking, either by using a boom along the foot of the sail or by cleating the sheet to a track. All other jibs need to be worked when tacking, that is, as the yacht comes head to wind the sheet attached to the tack of the sail is released, and then pulled in again on the other side of the yacht.

The word 'jib' exists in most English-speakers' vocabularies only in the idiom 'to like the cut of one's jib', meaning 'to like (of a person)'.

Also a snowboarding term meaning to grind.

See also sail-plan.
