Got a broken (but easily repairable) angel 600 mast that only works with a reefed 600 sail - don't wanna risk t'other one tho .  Sounds like a great idea tho - here's that single handed miniskiff we've been after then.  I reckon we should keep it without a jib but i think the 200 kite would be too small.  T-foils though

I've still got this kite in the garage - about 13.5m2 and 5.5m hoist height...

It would have to be mast head!!! What about some T-Foils? And Maybe Some Racks so you could keep the full 6 rig and just extend the racks to suit the wind or sailor weight. What about a self tacker as well?

Oh no Steve C's Kiddy Trainer has turned in to a Mini Cherub!!

nothing with a 200 sized kite can make claim to being a skiff...

ps i want a go too



Whislt were picking holes... why a 200 kite? have you no shame?

causes its a baby skiff for people of vey little weight...like me!

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!
