Should be there.

It was taken at the weekend, midway through the training on saturday. It only looks like 15 knots because that's the apparent. It was actually about 8knots, for about 2 minutes. I'll dig out the gps track & see what speed we were going.

You'll have to ask Will about the moving his body & the tiller. I imagine he is hunting for power to try to get the apparent up enoight to come out on the wire but it is still pretty shifty. I have no idea what happens down wind: I'm watching the kite luff and waiting for the signal to gybe....

Fly Cherub!

For once actually has a good feeling of speed and shows just how much they bounce around when going at full chat!

i see what you mean, its difficult to tell. looks like a standard aft sheeting
system which goes through the boom, but then i can't find it when it comes
off the boom, and the helm seems to be reaching for the cockpit floor...

difficult to tell jumping around so much.

I've seen systems before that run forwards to the mast, down to the floor and then back along. Creates more space in the middle...
