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.

Join us on a journey to the heart of the Louisiades Archipelago in Papua New Guinea, where we explore a traditional village house made entirely from materials sourced from the surrounding bush. In this remote part of the world, the locals rely on their resourcefulness, cutting down sago trees with machetes to build homes that can last up to 20 years.

► Full test in Multihulls World 187: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/dazcat-1295-two-hulls-no-compromises Darren Newton, the designer-builder of the Dazcat range, likes to validate his work by racing his catamarans, even those (such as the 1295) that are oriented towards blue water cruising. Designed to sail far and long-term with a short-handed crew, the 12.95 is also often the fastest in a race, even on a technical course. The designer and shipyard are very exacting on the weight calculations and weight centering. As with all Dazcats, each owner has a margin of customization according to his or her program. This is a most talented cat! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Multimarine Manufacturing Ltd Length: 42’6” (12.95 m) Beam: 21’4” (6.50 m) Light displacement: 11,575 lbs (5.25 t) Draft: 2’8”/7’7” (0.80/2.30 m) Mainsail: 645 sq ft (60 m²) Genoa: 323 sq ft (30 m²) Asymmetric spi: 1,560 sq ft (145 m²) No. of cabins: 2 to 4 Water: 132 US gal (500 l) Diesel: 31 US gal (120 l) Engines: 2 x 21 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Conçu pour naviguer loin et longtemps en équipage réduit, le 1295 peut également être le plus rapide lors d'une régate, y compris lors d’un parcours technique. Designer et chantier sont très exigeants sur le devis des masses et le centrage des poids. Comme pour tous les Dazcat, chaque propriétaire conserve une marge de personnalisation en fonction de son programme. Un vrai surdoué, ce cata ! ► CARACTERISTIQUES TECHNIQUES Constructeur : Multimarine Manufacturing Ltd Longueur : 12,95 m Largeur : 6,60 m Déplacement lège : 5,5 t Tirant d'eau : 0,80/2,00 m Grand-voile : 60 m2 Génois : 30 m2 Spi : 145 m2 Cabines : 2 à 4 Eau : 500 l Carburant : 120 l Motorisation : 2 x 21 CV ► Abonnez-vous GRATUITEMENT à la chaîne YouTube de Multicoques Mag dès maintenant – https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Connectez-vous à notre site Web pour découvrir plus de 500 essais !
