Sailing by the lee.

When your stern has passed through the eye of the wind but your sail has yet to swing across, you are sailing by the lee. The boom will lift unless it is vanged down. The mainsail may flutter The biggest danger is an accidental jibe. It is better to complete the jibe or head back upwind on your current tack.
