They're single handers, kites on single handers are easier to use than the twin handers I've experienced.

I can sail the RS200 quite happily with the spinnaker out to windward even without the SRS pole....

Woke up this morning with a Eureka moment, think I may have an idea to make my symmetric kite work asymmetrically on either tack.

So, what about this..

Top of the kite on a batten track (batten and a bit of line through the pulley) when you sheet it the kite pulls to one end of the track, leaving the new trailing edge supported by the batten, which then twists off to leeward.

Simples.

Save your applause for later, just for now tell me why it won't work.

do we get a consultancy fee when you print this thread out to submit it with your R&D Tax Credit application?

WTF? Can't work out what this is trying to say, or what problem it's trying to solve.
