What if you could tow your boat… with a kite? Yes, it’s possible ! No longer just a dream or a wild idea, and it’s surprisingly simple. The LibertyKite® attaches to your boat with just two lines: no prior experience required. It works with any boat from 4 m upwards, whether motorized or sailing. How does it work? 1️⃣ Simply clip the two lines onto two attachment points (mooring cleats or any other fixing point) 2️⃣ Point the air intake into the wind to let the wing self-inflate. 3️⃣ Release… and just let the kite tow you! 👉 Still skeptical? Discover how to use the LibertyKite® effortlessly in just 10 minutes : https://zurl.co/jcS22 Got questions?

Squall lines can quickly triple the amount of wind you’re dealing with and have the potential to do damage if you’re caught unprepared. Once the squall hits, preparation is over and it’s up to reactive seamanship skills. While your strategy should depend on many factors (your boat, sea conditions, proximity to land, etc.) here are a few things that are helpful in most circumstances: 1. Reduce sail area early. Considering dropping sails entirely depending on conditions. 2. Ensure the crew puts on proper gear such as Lifejackets, Foul weather jackets, tethers, etc. 3. Take note of where you are & where you were sailing to. Be aware of any nearby shoals or reefs. 4. Prepare for poor visibility. Turn on running lights, monitor VHF ch16, have an airhorn accessible, etc. What else would you add to this list?
