Who's going to be the first person to put a kite on a 300 then? I've put a kite on a Moth before, so it is (vaguely) possible.

Yeah, I've had the OOD - pre-race, fortunately - ask me if I'm an asymmetric!

It didn't sail too badly either - seemed to be slower upwind than the B rig but it was certainly rapid downwind. We need to have a play with it in some wind!
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.

I considered that but I just asked them where the pole and trap wires were hiding....

The levels of boredom on saturday did approach attempting to add a vario kite to the mix- I think we had run out of duck tape by then (or the bar had opened)....
