We haven't had much wind the past month of Sundays so no real idea what it will do, other than what we knew already that it's incredibly slow in light weather and could probably do with a bigger jib, well it could probably take an entire bigger rig, but for the moment I'm content to finish off all the bits, got a new kite chute, having rack tramps made to colour match, not liking the position of the controls, every time I try something, it goes wrong, the rig is a bit of a mess tbh.

I did get to watch someone else in it this sunday gone, Neal Gibson, helpful chap making me the bits, he got a bit of a puff, maybe 8-10 knots briefly and up it came onto one hull (tightish leg between two sticky out bits) then it seemed to go well enough. I had my iPhone track gatherer it spiked at 11 mph, thrilling..

It needs wind and open water..
