Very good piece on rigging the pole on the class website:

My 6 year old can manage the kite on a gentle day, and my 9 year old loves it when it's blowing old boots.

That's only the flyaway system, admittedly most of the top boats have it for the cool factor, tisn't really necessary though.

Splosh, the old style fibreglass ones may look ok but they're not as strong/stiff as wooden ones.  Can't say the same for the new Mk 4 though, those are a completely different construction.  But you can't say that a plastic/glass boat looks nicer than a well looked after wooden boat! Most of the top boats are wooden too.  They also last/stay stiffer longer.

Has anyone got a diagram of the rigging for a spinnaker?

 

Thanks
