Yep as Al says just pull the rope upwards between the cleat and the uphaul block a little further aft and that pivots the cleat up and releases.

Yep here to, had one on the Alto since day 2. But the RS100 works better as
it's in full auto mode, our Alto one I fitted in a stupid place so you have to
activate it manually.

It was a pleasure and actually helped as it didn't recleat on its own easily so the drops were A LOT easier.

Got one on our B14 and the same ... pop ... kite falls in the bag no snagging at all.
Would go as far to say with a good crew it's quicker than a chute kite

From the reports its looks like the conditions weren't great for the Hayling regatta D1 versus RS100 challenge. It says it was very light and only got one race in so cant read anything into results.

Will be interesting to start seeing the Fed week results filter in????

Cheers,

Keith.

Fed week - only one race per day - we had force 3-4 fill in as we started, 8 100s and 4 D-ones amongst med assy handicap: Amongst singlehanders I finished about 50seconds ahead of leading D-one on the water, then another D-one literally seconds later, then a 100 45 seconds after that. Race was an hour 45 mins.

No surprises performance wise, very even offwind, D-One has slight edge upwind. I knew which way to go (so did first D-one).

Sailing off 1005 I was wopped by 3 29ers (only 1 reasonable), so finished 4th out of 30ish. Leading D-ones off 971 were mid fleet. Bandits we are not.....at least today.

In 100s, Simon Childs kept nibbling away at me upwind, but was still learning assy's downwind. Tim Weeden held me all way to windward mark (15 min beat) on 8.4, but got stuck under some boats downwind. Clive Eplett looked quick on 8.4 first sail...other HISC 10.2s off the money today.....interesting to see how the relative performances pan out...

Cheers,

This has probably been asked before, but I am reluctant to trawl through 140 pages at work! Downwind last week (18 knots wind, 20ish in gusts) I was getting a fair plume of water up through the centreboard slot. Nothing to spoil the grin, but have I unwittingly dinked/broken something.....or at that pace normal and just live with it?

Wasnt there something to do with keeping the board right
down as well.

Yup - spoken to Rob, board likely to have come up slightly is best case and most likely scenario.
