Haha, it's ok dude! I wasn't stupid enough to do it to my own boat! But don't let this put anyone off the idea.

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.

Thats was'nt 4025, was it?

The truth sometimes hurts but it will always get out in the end..

I'm still working on a way of rigging a spinnaker pole that will self stow along side the boom. We need to look at how the MXray worked and copy that.

Then laugh at each other trying to hoist kites in such a wobbly beast!

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.

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)....

Sail it at Rutland and they'll agree - 1037

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

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!
