Wearing ship (also known as gybing) is a sailing maneuver used to turn the stern of the ship through the wind, as opposed to tacking, which involves turning the bow. This maneuver is used when:

Changing Course: The ship needs to change the direction it is sailing relative to the wind, especially when the wind is too strong or the sea too rough to tack safely.
Handling of Ship: It is generally a safer maneuver in strong winds because it avoids the risk of the ship being caught “in irons” (where the ship is unable to move forward under sail because the sails are unable to generate power).
