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.

► Découverte dans Multicoques Mag HS 20 Forever Green 2 : https://www.multicoques-mag.com/dossiers-catamaran-trimaran/ils-innovent-la-plaisance-forever-green ► Baptême du SeaKite à Arcachon. ► L'équipe de Beyond the Sea, menée par Yves Parlier, a profité du Salon Nautique d'Arcachon pour présenter son catamaran expérimental. Le public était bien présent - les édiles également ! La marraine du SeaKite, Isabelle Autissier, a encourager à de nouveaux usages plus responsables en termes écologiques tout en encourageant la technologie et le recherche à mettre en place de nouvelles solutions décarbonées. ► L'ancien catamaran à gréement double dont les coques sont dotées de redans – à la manière des flotteurs d’hydravion - est bien devenu un multicoque expérimental propulsé par des ailes de kite à écoulement laminaire réalisée en Vectran® – ces voiles devraient assurer une excellente remontée au vent. Le catamaran est également doté de turbines biomimétiques de l’entreprise ADV Propulse. Ces dernières permettront de produire de l’électricité « sous kite » (600 W à 6 nœuds) et de propulser (2 x 15 kW en 48 V) le multicoque lorsque les conditions seront incompatibles avec l’envoi de l’aile. Des panneaux solaires sont également en place. Le catamaran démarre donc sa deuxième carrière et devrait profiter des feux de la rampe – festival Win for Good à Saint-Nazaire, Jeux olympiques de 2024 à Marseille et départ du Vendée Globe aux Sables-d’Olonne. Le Seakite s’offrira ensuite une double transat 100 % green pendant l’hiver 2025/26. ► 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 !
