Sam Spoons, have you tried fitting Iso sails? Must still be a few around.

Yes, but thanks for the though. I'm on the lookout for a replacement ISO main for my current (ex-prototype North) ISO main but The ISO seems to be a declining class too* at the moment and there don't seem to be many decent used sails around. The kite is an issue too as it's about 30% smaller than the Spice kite. If I can find a reasonably priced main I might consider £350 or so for a 'training' kite.

* The Spice is long past the 'declining' stage but still great fun......

Does anybody know or have any contacts with the "Vortex" crew who might have some second hand sails for sale. As above it might be a way I can make the costs work better for me especially on the basis I'm not planning on racing

Hi, I know this has been a while but I finally collected the vortex today as the owner had be very unwell. The boat needs some TLC but I managed to get it for €300. Has anyone got a rigging guide and information on the sheet/rope lengths for each section as most are well passed their use by date and I believe some maybe missing. Any help appreciated
