Plus the "xl" has battens but the main sheet loads on a feva when it's windy are stupid. Mainly because i've only ever sailed one with a pathetic kicker but you can change it to some thing with a bit more grrrrr. (again it's all relative)

mainsheet loads on a feva are nothing smight, even my sister could sheet in when it was blowing F6. (admittedly it took her about a minute ) although most the fleet do have a 2:1 on the mainsheet, i never saw the point.

MpHarris, the bigger main and the kite is marketted by LDC as the Feva XL but really tats the standard version. XL and muppet sails.
