I'm not worried at all, I'd be really pleased to see a Turbo Farr 3.7 in the UK. If you don't overdo the kite size it'll be really easy to get up and down, and will work when there's some wind around to. So no need to re-invent the wheel.

How many different boats have you had now? When will you realise it is not the boat? |

When you realise a person who has won multiple national titles in multiple disciplines can't cope with the dros you ludicrously describe as 'performance' vehicles in a sport dominated by cheats and corruption. |

Honestly, never found many ism's in the people I have met through sailing, they all seem to want to sail and mess about in boats, I enjoy the sledging on the water too, heard some crackers, still been chuckling on the way home.
iGRF you need to change clubs, find somewhere that makes you laugh.

“A range of evidence suggests about three-quarters of regular dedicated water sports participants are likely to be men aged 18 to 60 years. Over 60% of participants in inland water-based sport and recreation are from social groups A, B, and C1, although these groups comprise less than 50% of the UK population.”
The stats don’t lie... given the lack of participation by women and ethnic minorities, it’s pretty clear the sport has institutional racism and gender inequality issues, even if individual participants feel that they are not racist or sexist. http://randd.defra.gov.uk/Document.aspx?Document=WC01001_1350_FRP.pdf |
