On our boat the kite doesn't use up anywhere near all the kite chute. It mostly just keeps the halyard from getting tangled really. Seems to work ok, I've never tripped over it (yet). |

Since the problem is solved ive got a question:
Why do all the 14s ive seen seem to have really long kite chutes, with a kite that big wouldnt it be easier to bag it? do they get in the way of feet etc? |

A Morrision 7A (1993) but modified to current (1996?) rules. Not competitive with the new boats though! Edited by m_liddell |

 Well done! No idea what you're on about (cos I haven't read the whole of this convo - whoops) but then when do I ever have any idea what people are on about....

A quick update for anyone this may help. I tipped the boat in over a sand bar today so we could stand and have a play at righting it. With my sister holding the boat into wind I could right it by myself. I tried righting it without her holding it at all and she watched the rudder. As the boat starts to come up it is moving forwards a bit and the rudder is all the way over, making the boat bear off and power up. Mystery solved. I guess bigger/tighter elastic round the tiller may help this.

Ah, if the main is actually on top of the water it could be the surface
tension of the water holding it down, try lifting the main on its own,
and if that's hard try sinking part of the main, might help. If the
main is on the water it can't be a depowering issue, cos it won't have
any airflow round both sides (it's an aerofoil) so at worst it would be
like being on a dead run, which the hull will shelter.

A lot of boat for £800. Sailing it yesterday the guys sailing their RS800s were all staring at us blasting around with the spin up for the first time.|
