Back on topic,

Kita took out a complete novice in her 4000 when it was blowing a F4-6 at Grafham, reckon that might be slightly more difficult than training novices up on 49er when its a  nice day, plus their overall weight was 120kg if they were eating well that day. Kita didn't have any major problems, and reckon the deck layout of the 4000 would be more off putting and confusing than a 49er.

I reckon the commentary would probably go a bit like this...

And he's away!! Plenty of mainsheet, just look at that thing go off the startline.  Hitting the first corner, just look how flat that thing is!  Right, into the first windward mark, and remember it's SOAKING wet out there today.  No cunningham for Stiggy today though, he's switched it off and is in maximum attack mode! Ok he's coming up for the bearaway, will he lose the back end?  No, perfectly balanced with just a hint of windward heel to keep the thing pointing the right way.  Kite up now and its POWER POWER POWER!!!!!!!  Into the gybe, will the rudder grip?  Yes, just look at that, not a hint of cavitation and the Stig's hitting the other wire and he's into Gambon, kite down and he's across the line!!!
