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 Sirena 60 marks a thoughtful evolution for Sirena Yachts, building on the success of the Sirena 58 while delivering more usable space, refined exterior living, and a modernized interior aesthetic. Making her world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, the Sirena 60 is not a radical departure — it’s a smarter, more deliberate refinement of a proven platform. Exterior spaces at both the bow and stern have been reconfigured to maximize outdoor living, with expanded sun pads, improved seating arrangements, and better flow for entertaining. The flybridge has received a significant redesign, offering enhanced sightlines, a more functional helm layout, and a clearer separation between command and social zones. An extended bathing platform improves water access and makes handling tenders and water toys more practical. Inside, Sirena’s in-house design team focused on increasing usable interior volume. The result is a noticeably more open feel throughout the main deck and accommodations, paired with an updated contemporary décor. Signature elements from Frers Naval Architecture remain intact — including the plumb bow and dark-glass exterior surfaces — preserving the yacht’s recognizable profile while improving efficiency and seakeeping. True to the brand’s DNA, the Sirena 60 is built on a semi-displacement platform designed for long-range cruising at displacement speeds, with the flexibility to increase pace when conditions or itinerary demand it. Improved storage, stronger interior-exterior connectivity, and refined design execution position the Sirena 60 as a compelling contender in the 60-foot class. Key Specifications: • Length Overall: 63'8" (19.45 m) • Beam: 17'7" (5.36 m) • Draft: 4'1" (1.24 m) Watch the full review on BoatTEST.com.
