At the end of the movie, when Frank, Rick and Danny are sailing Frank gives direction to turn the ship around and starts doing a tack (shifting the sailboat with the nose into the wind). Checking the horizon we can see the boat turning right. The next shot (taken from above) shows the boat making a jibe (shifting the sailboat with the stern through the wind), turning left.
Frank Morrison: [To Rick]
You touch a little as a hair on my son's head, and I swear, as God as my witness, that'll be the last thing you'll ever do in this world.
