Kicker Configuration

We are going to reconfigure the Kicker on Asterix to the “strong kicker” described in Steve Goacher’s notes.
Where should the cleats go?. What is the exact configuration of the blocka at the mast?. What is the procedure for operating the kicker, is it played from the winch , or by hand.
Which type of cleat is best jamb or cam.
We can most probably figure out the answers when we get afloat but I bet many people have their favourite way of configuring the kicker…..no point in reinventing the wheel!

I’ve looked back at my Northern Ireland holiday snaps and picked out a few photo’s of kickers (whaddeyamean – “how sad”). They are now on the web site on the hints and tips page. If anyone out there has a digital camera and a dream kicking strap, then mail the shots to me and I’ll put them on the web site – I’m sure Frazer and others will be eternally grateful. webmaster@sonata.org.uk
