Quick guide to setting the kicker in an Optimist dinghy for strong winds. Sorry about the audio, it was windy! Strong winds means when the sailor is hiking upwind and having to ease the mainsheet in gusts. Lots of kicker will make the boat easier to sail upwind and reduce leech twist and therefore rolling downwind. Ideally also look to rake the mast forwards to balance the centre of effort in the sail and avoid excess weather helm in strong winds.

The sailboat show is whizzing by - already day 3. It has been an amazing chance to meet everyone and see how these propellers have made their sailing lives better. I discovered we have Autoprop off to Antarctica on an epic voyage. We have a lot of new owners who have taken the plunge on Leopard catamarans and are thrilled with the propellers and other customers thanking us for years of support as they sadly sell their boats and retire to California to be closer to the newly arrived grandkids. Be sure to come find us on booth B1 and say hello!
