1. "Ease the kicker"? I thought that meant throw any soccer players overboard.
   Had to look it up. We call it a "Boom Vang" in America.

2. The kicker? Is that another word for the mainsail traveler?
   I crewed for many years on racing sailboats on San Francisco Bay and never heard the term "kicker".
   We would let out both sheets when beginning a broach, and sometimes jibed if we were getting near that point anyway..

3. I had to look up "Kicker". It's what we call the "Vang".

4. What is the kicker?

5. 37 seconds of nothing until you get to the information.

6. I've spent some time around boats, never heard of anything called a kicker? Guessing it's the boom vang or a traveler?

7. In the uk vangs control the sprit on a thames sailing barge. So the thing amercans called the vang is called the kicker.. one of those things from the dim and distant past.

8. Very nice video! Thanks!

9. What boat is that ib vudei?

10. Thanks Pip just need a boat and then I can say was taught by a Vendee globe sailor.

11. I recognise her voice from all those vendee globe live feeds , 👍😃

12. Aha. Explaing my recent dinghy failures! Good wee video thanks 🙂

13. She's cool

14. What's the kicker, the vang?

15. I used to dread broaching mt Enterprise dingy .. the mainsail would get pinned by the water and it was game over . wet wet wet . Ok swim swim swim . never needed the rescue boat which was gleefully anticipating what had become an expected result of my lack of skills. That boat was sooo tippy.

16. What boat is this?

17. Can't wait to try it out. New sailor here and the wife and I experienced some higher winds than expected yesterday in our little 28 footer. Boat felt like was losing control downwind so I put a reef in main for first time and it helped but still happened a few times. We heeled at 30 degrees plus a few times. My solution was to furl the jib so we didn't have to call it a day so we sailed at 2.5 knots the rest of the day. lol…how do that saying go….when in doubt…let it out. I knew my lack of trim skills were the issue.

18. Only Broached a few times during a race in high wind and max speeds. It didnt seem like we had more than a millisecond before we spun . Secondly , that was a very handsome boat . Does anyone know make and length.

19. 1 minute out of 2.5 is title, announcement, agenda… how can you waste that time?!

20. This is why here in San Francisco Bay with our very strong winds most serious racing boats have custom extra long rudders

21. Beautiful!

22. Thank you! And great to see Pip! I've been following her on Instagram, 2022. 🙂

23. In my opinion there are two ways to broach: to leeward and to windward. The best way to learn how to handle either one is to practice sailing downwind in breezy conditions in a Laser. (I am confident almost no one will follow this advice). The light, fast, exciting, and ridiculously inexpensive Laser will soon teach you what works and what does not. Make the wrong move–even slightly–and you'll be dumped unceremoniously into the drink. Eventually you will be coordinating sheet, helm, and body weight with wind and sea in utter harmony and in heavy air feel an elation like Baryshnikov dancing Swan Lake flawlessly in his prime. Like riding a bicycle, this knowledge will last throughout your sailing career and easily translate to large, heavy boats. You will never obtain this level of mastery in a heavy keel boat, not even a Star.

    Broaching to weather (AKA the "Death Roll") in big boats or any boat running under a spinnaker in heavy air is usually caused by having the 'chute eased off too far while running dead downwind or nearly so. When the center line of the 'chute is visible to weather of the forestay, you're passing into the Danger Zone. When you can see the leech of the 'chute to weather of the forestay you are courting disaster in a breeze, especially in an IOR boat with her tall rig, big 'chute, maldistribution of volume, and narrow hindquarters. Avoidance is the best tactic. Sail a bit higher, even as little as 8-10 degrees. And keep the 'chute pointed ahead, not to weather. And trim the main a bit, but only a bit. Also, it is very important on any boat larger than a one design to rig a preventer on the boom any time the wind is aft of abeam and stronger than a gentle breeze.

    Lastly easing the mainsheet if heeling to leeward works only on a reach, not on a run, and I would ease the vang before the sheet. This takes enormous coordination between the helmsman and the man on the vang.

24. Hi yall

25. This vid is a little dated at this point, but things have obviously changed in the 50 years since I raced competitively. Back then we never used a boom vang except when racing downhill; relied strictly on main sheet, and if we approached a broach (which we rarely did in a boat the size of ours) we'd just blow the main sheet and let it luff out. The chief reason for this was that we had a roller-reefing setup on the boom, which made it impossible to rig a permanent kicker or boom vang; we relied on wrapping a thick rubber tensioner around the boom and cinch it down with blocks and leads as our boom vang, and would usually hook it outboard on downwind instead of the mast step.

    What we failed to do if we were reaching with the chute up was blow the spinnaker sheet; there seemed to be a reflex response among skipper and crew to send the pole forward into the headstay and let the weather sheet out instead of the leeward sheet. This never made sense to me – of course back then there was no such thing as an asymmetrical spinnaker either, we just had a traditional spinnaker with pole.
