Blaze X with asymmetric

But as it says on their website could be bad for the class due to it being expensive and radically changing the characteristics of the boat and racing.

Could be fun though

a 25 m kite? thats not a step up. someones tried a 28sqm on a canoe before. any way canoe kites arent limited. but i like the idea of a twin seat canoe. would be very fast methinks.

Twin seat canoes were around in the 1930's and probebly long before that, too. Hull and rig technology has made it possible for them to go much faster now than they did then, but the ideas were all out there, and have been since the 1880's. Would be fun to see a modern version, though I suspect they will have one in Australia, land of the mad...

that wasnt me that said the last paragraph

600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

Uffa was disappointed to find that his two person canoe was slower than a standard single person one...
