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.

NODO DELL’ASINO ⚓ Il NODO DELL'ASINO è un nodo molto semplice, essendo un nodo piano sbagliato; è per questo che si chiama NODO DELL'ASINO! Serve ad unire e quindi ad "allungare" due cime con diametro differente!👇 1️⃣ L’inizio è uguale al NODO PIANO: basta prendere le due cime fare un nodo normale, passando sopra la cima destra la cima sinistra 2️⃣ Ora al posto di passare la cima sinistra sotto la cima destra, la passiamo sopra la cima destra. 🌊⛵ Voi e la vostra ciurma siete capaci?

What do you think? 🐟 or 🦈? We don’t know. The fishing line unfortunately (or luckily? if it was a shark) broke before we got the fish on board 🥲 always tragic to loose a lure, because it means we harmed a fish “for no reason”. Hopefully the next days will be more successful 🎣 the Humboldt stream we sail along should be full of fish 🤞 🗺️ sailed: 220 nm 🌎 to destination: 1.980 nm 🌬️ avg. on day: 6 kts ⛵️ avg. on day: 4,1 kts Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ps: in our link in bio you can find the Ocean Crossing Bundle which includes everything you need to know for offshore sailing ⛵️ #offshoresailing #sailing #catamaran #sailinglife #sailingadventure #oceansailing
