Fizzist - have you thought about sailing it at Pennine just up the road? With the prevailing wind direction you'd have a better chance with the kite, we've got assymmetric Vortexes and L3000's, they manage fine. The winds are a bit steadier too

I was so desprate to sail my I14 when I got it, I sailed it on the tiny 65 acre reservoir where I learned to sail years ago. Only about 2/3 of it is actually sailable and it is surrounded by trees making is gusty as hell, the fastest boat sailed on there is a laser. It was entertaining for a while though. If we had tried the spin I think we would have been half was across the fields before the crew even got on the wire |

I met some guy there who had a tasar- he reckoned it was perfectomundo for
1) high winds you tend to get there- plane upwind, on the fetch, on the reach, on the run. 2) gusty, broken easterlies- no trapeze pandemonium 3) shifty- no kite to bin The class has just approved nice mylars to fit in with the 9er branded boats It is a beast in light, a pleasure in medium, and a joy in heaveir stuff . |

Yeah, Glossop it is. To my knowledge Dave is usually doing the open circuit in his Finn these days - certainly not seen him up there for a couple of years. 400's are pretty competitive there although I'm not doing too badly in a 300. |

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. |

Torside is Glossop isn't it? if so its probably just big enough to have a good blast on a windward leewaerd course when its straight down the lake (westerley?). But don't try it down the 'creek' - you can't see under the kite so sailing and gybing in a stretch thats about 100m wide is not to be reccomended. Given the usual zig-zag courses at Glossop and the B14s preference for broad reaches you'll hardly ever fly the kite. RS400 would be the sensible choice! I think photographer Dave Walker has a B14 and is a member at Glossop - get him to demo it in a breeze. |

It's Torside - one down from Woodhead. Javelins are pretty competitive there so there's room for big symmetrical kites.
