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...

properly done and in al quoz are two words that should not be put in the same sentance. If your going to get your boat redone geoff fish who works for victory or V1 for a price are the best people around.
