a 25 m kite? thats not a step up. someones tried a 28sqm on a canoe before. any way canoe kites arent limited. but i like the idea of a twin seat canoe. would be very fast methinks.

600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

Laser 2 would be alot better with the application of a monster truck.

Oh and changing the  shackle on the  roller bar on the chute of the RS400 when your trying to get the jib off with cold hands!

RS317
Crew RS400/Fireball

ye well since we hadnt sailed in a while and it was picking up from 15knots we only went over 4 times. Not bad really since the last time we went over was trying to hold the kite into the harbour. Oh well next time maybe we will succeed.

Fair enough we arnt racing so i get where your coming from. Im going to try and get into 49er sailing at uni but agian need to try and find some funds if not i need a light crew for an 800


ye i saw u out on it with grogs u were over most the time.very nice underside though
can u still remember grogs and his heroic capsize in the harbour and his crew drysiding onto the centerboard and with one leg on each side of it looked like it hurt
