Yeah Dude bigger isn't always better just look at you spice kite
experiance. It's a balancing act between area, shape and drag.

More than enough for the boat mate. Rememer it has an all up weight of 75 kg or 165 lb. Spinnaker cats travel down wind a lot quicker, so smaller, flatter kites that produce less drag is quicker for them. Cats have gone down the path of big kites with big sholders like the skiffs but were slower. Flatter (less drag) = faster. Jumping from skiff to cat and using kite, you notice that even with simular kite sizes, there is less load on the cat kites due to boats moving and more importantly, accelorating better. |

It's cool, I worked it out. I needed the stuff-it expander. Your right about
macs, they do kick arse. And microsoft suck. But it's very frustrating having to learn how to use a computer all over again! Cheers for your help Jack. |

In that wakeboarding one they seem to be really struggling with that kite!!
I wish I could watch the A-Class ones, but I don't know how to make them play on mac! |

Have video footage of classic rig Tornado pulling up and towing a guy on waterskis. 1997 Bermuda World Championships during the Bacardi Blast speed trials...... Very cool.

that wakeboarding video is AMAZING. i've always wondered if it's
possible to tow someone in a cherub but i think they lack the torque!
not sure if that is applicable to sailing but it sounds good.
