kite snakes


I made 'kite snakes' ala Angus. I use one to hold the end of an Arc, two to hold the trailing edge of a foil. They also work great on the LE of an LEI.

Wetsuit neoprene with 1" webbing reinforcement at ends. Sew it twice, then turn inside out. Lines at each end are thru the webbing and neoprene and the last link of a length of 1/4" or 5/16" galvanaized chain. About 4' long and 7 lbs each.

Seems anal, but on grass fields or lakes with the snow mostly blown off, you can't easily find anchor material.
