The hull was going to work out too expensive to bring over. So I'm just bringing the "other bits". It's lucky I already have a 12foot hull.

Thanks Ell.
Rigs are coming from Sydney, being packed in the container on Thursday, and should arrive at Hayling Island about mid-July.
Haven't chosen the flat yet, but looking at either Eeling, or Roehampton areas.

I probably won't... I've spent every penny I've got getting the boat over here, so not about to spend more sending it back again. Also don't think I'm going to make any of the qualifying events.

The rigs got packed into the container today. This is what the number one (I think) looks like. Now just imagine a red hull underneath, with strawberries painted all over it.

I was down at Hayling last night and the 12's look INCREDIBLE! If only I wasn't busy today I'd have had a ride in one
You may think the number 1 kites look big in the photo's.... but take my word for it, they are much bigger in real life! Had a serious code brown when we unpacked the big one!
