AMAZING!!!
Any pics of the rigging/setup? I do convention rigging for a living and am always fascinated by complicated looking rigging setups.
I need details,details,details!!!
If you think it\'s hard explaining HOW something works, try explaining WHY it doesn\'t work.

You could sail that Farrier tri single handed with a regular rig. They have a long way to go to simplify the setup - one guy at the tiller, and one on
that turret - no way I'd be sitting up there in a blow.
Don't get me wrong - I think kitesailing has huge potential. But that's a lot of hardware that needs to be trimmed down and made operable from the
protection of the #@%$#!pit.

Coming from someone where there's the wind for that, very cool! I have pondered the same (but much more simple) setup on my 20ft Catamaran. Has
anyone else flown off a cat?

That's pretty rocking too. My buddy Capt. Ron does the kayak with a NPW on handles out at the lake.

I wanna say 50m, but I suspect it may be a 25m.
Either way, looks like it's making some decent power.
