Thanks to Gary Henwood-Fox for the photos!

Flatter boys, flatter!!  That tight reach with the kite up should have the main flapping.  It really does not matter that it's not driving, the boat will be loads faster when flat...sometimes in the windy stuff it's best not to look at that main!  Looks to me like it's over-kickered too...dump a bit off.

Good pics though, nice to see "Doris" (14173) out and about again!

Thanks Iain! Went out yesterday in a good F4 but raked the mast back a hole more on the adjusters and it was much easier to stay flat! Will try less kicker next time!
