Ready/Prepare to tack! - Tacking or Ready about! - Tacking!
This is a set of commandos to initiate and carry out a "turn" into the wind.
The skipper will alert the crew by yelling READY ABOUT.
The crew will reply READY, when they are ready to tack.
The skipper will then yell "TACKING!, and push the tiller to turn the bow into the wind.
The crew will release the jib sheet on the leeward side. Then as the boat assumes its position on the opposite tack, they will pull the jib sheet in on the other side.

Instead of "tacking" for Ree! you can also use "Helms-a-lee"

Wikipedia also has "hard-a-lee" and "lee ho" for Ree. There really are many variations, aren't there.
"Coming about" (or alternatively "Helm's a-lee", "Hard a-lee", or "Lee Ho") during the actual tacking. "Coming about" is an alternate term for "tacking".

Is this getting too confusing? If this video is for non-sailors, I'd go for:
Ready about! Helms-a-lee!
I think most people would get the picture.
This is also used at the American Sailing Association:
Use proper commands: "ready about" - "ready" - "helms-a-lee" or "hard-a-lee" - "trim the course".

: we used "coming about" when I learned sailing as a boy in the US, but otherwise yes, these are all highly codified terms that should be followed properly
