Hehe, Got a smile out of me!

As I have said before, I can survive it ... Never use the kite in that kinda breeze though!! (Submarined past the mast gate on most of the few times I did at the Nationals this year ... Damn waves!)

well i remember seeing villan swimming quite alot that is when he came out but fair dues to him at least he tryed to get out and sail.

as for big boys boats i had a 300 which was great fun so quick upwind and on a reach but downwind once you learnt how to sail it a little boring (well that what i thought) i would reckmend the vareo every time fun upwind hard work yes but still what boat is easy to sail upwind.downwind with the kite in any breeze is just so much fun the only reason i sold the 300 was i found i missed having the kite .
