You forgot wet!

It does look amazing, and I have nothing but admiration for those who sail such boats, but I confess it doesn't really make me want to go out and do it. Certainly not racing.

The AC (kite) was an off-shoot class Mark...  The IC has always been kite-less.  

How the DC fits in is probably best left to Jim or AndyP to explain...

The kite never achieved any great popularity internationally. I don't think many folk come ashore in San Francisco for example wishing they had a kite out there... Think I've heard more than one describe conditions out there as very scary.

Who needs a kite when you go that speed. That was impressive
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

Hard as our lot here on the forum may be, we see that there are those who have to suffer Grumph in person, week in, week out.

For a bit of positivity amongst the threads at the moment:

Not sure if those links work or not, an awesomely positive piece of advertising for our sport. Plus something else tempting me towards a Finn!
