At the boat show today got a few pics which can be seen on my

Flickr

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kiddle/sets/72157602036659690/

Spoke to the guys on the stand and they said so far they have had 23
knots out of her, but have not sailed in all of the wind range and have got
13 to 14 knots upwind in 12 knots true so far. Optimum crew weight is
190kg and the boat itself all up weighs 190kg although they intend the
production one to be 160kg.

All other details can be viewed on their website.

Hope this info is of use to those not able to attend the show.

want one !

 

anyone weighing in at 75Kgs and with spare £20 K wanting to crew

 

Good Luck to the Tek Kat team it is an exciting project and I hope it gets off the ground when into production .

 

Hope they consider some wings on its rudders , with an 11m mast they  may come in handy at next Loch Ness .

what is the tack of the kite attached to? There appears to be no pole, with lines running to each bow?
