I've just ordered an MPS2 from Ovi's...don't tell the other half that it doesn't really have a jib for her yet! She's seen the pictures, so it must be real...didn't even notice that it has to be sailed by identical twins!

Same sock; use a triple patch kite, the existing chute is very generous for the existing kite. Halyard, have an additional block on the mast head that you attach when you flip to MPS2 mode. So the top 1.5m of kite halyard would be external ... |

Eh? If you take your standard MPS you can sail it as an MPS ... what I'm suggesting is that with a different set of sails and a bit of rigging you get an MPS2 ... which of course can revert to an MPS with no problem, remove the sails and rigging and rerig with the standard MPS sails ... switch between MPS & MPS2 in just 15 minutes ... |

In all seriousness, I think it would be an excellent idea, particularly for 'occasional' use. Looks way smarter than the RS. |

here's the downwind hack up ... Relative to the 800, the below would have a slightly bigger kite and be quite a bit lighter .... |

No, but it appears that, with the jib, you can't sail the Musto singlehanded either. |

MPS2 can be sailed as an MPS ... so crew this weekend, then just put up a different set of sails ... This gives 2 good boats for the price of one (and a bit for the second set of sails) |
