Hi Bruce. 
Yes we have a fitted B&G below decks system that is excellent. Most of the time upwind its not needed but as soon as you put the kite up and have to spend time either forward, or with your hands full, its a great help.

Apologies ClubRacer, I posted in the wrong video. Was meant for Ian Foxwell on single handed yacht racing

if you're referencing the video with the cadets standing on the bow, what we used to do was get the traveller tail and wrap it around the tiller to hold it in the middle then tie the mainsheet off or hold onto it 

Not to be done without adequate safety cover though, I've done this and become separated from the boat which stayed up right and sailed off into the distance. This was on the sea but luckily it was a calm day, luckily it only took a few minutes for the safety boat to realise nobody was on board a topper that was heading off to France

RSGames video. Hopefully we'll get to see more of the drone footage, as they seemed to get quite a bit!

Dangerous compared to a dinghy, probably. More dangerous than moth or Nacra, maybe similar? Compared to other popular sports like cycling, rugby, football; probably pretty safe. 

Certainly not dangerous enough to stop it becoming a peoples sport.

People's foiler in terms of price or skill level?

Is it any cheaper than a decent second hand moth or new wazp? 

It doesn't seem to make the drop downs any less violent. In terms of getting people foiling I think a multi hull is a far better solution for stability prior to take off than all that wetted area and weight of a scow.

I think the peoples foiler is the kites boards. So simple.
