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.

Our Bris 12.5 dinghy developed water leak. It would flood 3 in deep about 50 gal to bail out every use. Used dinghy davits to lift bow high so I could get on swim platform and patch.
