Having a 50m kite on a reach is the least of your worries, it will be the hundreds of boats beneath you stopping you from bearing away when a gust hits!  But thats the fun of it!!

I was thinking about doing it in the 12footer, but apparently there are reaching legs, not just wward/lward. I don't fancy my chances of holding a 50sqm kite on a reach!

In theory, 12ft skiff (called the Dangerous Strawberry) is the lightest, and has the biggest sail area.

Fed week is coming up of course! anyone doing it??  Hayling - 7th-11th august......a week long piss up!!



I'll second fed week! Pleanty of drunken carnage (just ask the Burghfield Beer Monster!) and some superb sailing. Is cheap too, with camping nearby....


Bear monster being the dude stuck in the mud? aahhh yes!!
So i take you'll be there then mark?  In the 600, yeeeees??  You'll be able to see my now fully modded 600......assuming i can get my boat there

EVERYONE should do fed week!!  Topper - 18 foot skiff, EVERYONE!!
