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.

Skyler is the third unit of the Benetti Fast range, equipped with an AZP C65 propulsion system, the most technologically advanced on the market, and will be delivered to her owner in June 2017. With a length of 38.1m and a beam of 8.3m, built in composites and carbon in Benetti’s Viareggio shipyard, the Fast 125’ is a four deck semi-wide body yacht with a total of 5 cabins. The sporty exterior was designed by Stefano Righini using an expanse of horizontal windows to accentuate the yacht’s streamlined look. Another key feature is a remarkable central element in the side of the superstructure that covers the access stairway to the upper deck. Her luxurious interior was designed by Redman Whiteley Dixon, based on the “Air” configuration, one of the three interior style options that Benetti offers to their Fast 125’ owners. The owner, an experienced yachtsman, requested many custom touches such as widespread use of loose furniture from famous design brands such as Glyn Peter Machin, Sutherland, Minotti and Meridiani. http://benettiyachts.it/benetti-presents-fast-125-my-skyler/
