Paul,

Depends.  If it looks like it's not going to howl (and the direction looks good I'll be up for the full course).  Last year was light, but I had a fairly wild sail back from Colne to Bradwell with the kite up was wild in a good F5 with big waves and even bigger standing ones where the River flows meet / diverge.

You can change your mind even on the moring of the race so I'll just enter for one and then make a decision on Saturday night as I program my GPS for the way-points / route.

Always makes for an interesting evening/ morning, especially when I was sailing hurricane sports. Got beat a couple of times ( on the water too   ) by a well sailed two sail hurri who decided to ditch the kite at the last minute.

At least with the tornado I don't get that choice anymore

Don't do technical
