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 composite deck, cockpit and cabin house of Hull 2 of the #LM46 were infused as a single but complex piece this week at @lyman_morse. The wooden hull of the LM46 provides the experience of sailing a classic yacht; the composite deck provides the water-tight longevity and cost efficiency of a modern yacht. Hulls 1&2 are launching later this year. Follow us to watch the progress. --
