The second one is symmetrical, must be where he went wrong!

Well spotted; looks like they were running square; fatal ...

This one really goes the extra mile for lift.

Looks like it is wearing a peaked cap.

I have no idea if lift is generated. The maths says no, but maybe there is less down force than with no kite up?

The bowsprit on my boat always bends upwards in breezier weather. If that's not lift, what is it?
