Good going GRF, even possible to steer it by the crew's ear as well by the looks of the photo. It does look good from that angle, and I really hope that it continues to go well for you. Obviously carries weight well as well when its a little windy, though I expect that the two of you only weigh the same as me on my own
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

Yes, it seems quite manageable, at least it will be when bits stop busting because of their temporary nature, Ash took it out alone, it bloody flew, honestly it's impossible to describe how I felt when he really stepped it up a gear he had this blinding kite run, i doubt even if we'd had a rib it would have stayed with him it looked really quick.

It's really wide, really stable, loads of righting moment, never once came near tipping point even when we blocked to blocked it to get it to fly a wing, if you overcook it however the wing digs in and everything slows down and things load up, so we need to raise them a bit more.

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
