New ISO Sails

   We have an ISO at our club with new sails and in the light stuff he's much quicker than before, not been out yet in a blow though. 

The old sails by Sobstad shrank into shape over time, so that the quickest sails were the oldest ones, assuming of course that they didnt de-laminate first !

	What are the clubs that people are talking about where they now have fast ISO's and Buzz's with the new sails? I'd like to make sure they are coming to the nationals next weekend at Herne Bay! Ah well, thinking about it, I would like to get in touch after the nationals - don't want them coming along a ruining the pecking order you know!!

	I've just started using a new kite on the 4000. Horrible at first luff seemed most stable with the tape folded back on itself. However now with a couple few races completed the luff looks good. So there is definitely a little bit of stretching going on.

	Maybe stretch marks are a good thing
