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.

Can you guess where this is in our world 🌍 Call it before the inversion ends! #shorts #adventure #travel Where to go on holiday 🤔 Venice is more than the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge - spare at least four days to explore. We really do hope the higher tide returns to refill the canals. Latest news and pictures are shocking. #venice
